The use of two-channel telemetric systems in obstetrics: an ideal monitoring method for oral PGE2 induction of labor.
Our results demonstrate that free mobility in labor has many advantages. Because of the accelerated uterine contractility, the induction-delivery interval is shortened. No unphysiologic baseline pressure alterations were found. The maximal labor amplitudes did not differ from bedside-monitored labor. No FHR-changes occurred and the fetal outcome was excellent. Being able to move about, women are not influenced by the unfamiliar surroundings of modern labor wards. Pain relief and breathing are better than in the recumbent position. The ideal compound to support labor is oral PGE2.
