[Inducing labor with intracervical prostaglandin (PG) gel administration. A comparative analysis of 171 patients with 2 different preparations of PGE2 with regard to course of labor and fetal outcome].
In the present study we examined whether the difference in viscosity of two prostaglandins applied intracervically for induction of labour influences course of labour and fetal outcome. A comparative analysis was carried out in 171 patients, which received either Cerviprost (n = 85) or Prepidil (n = 86) at 6 hour intervals. The results show that the viscosity of the PG E2 has no influence on the course of induction of labour, the mode of delivery or on fetal outcome. The low viscosity does also not present an increased risk for uterine overstimulation, even in case of intracervical application.
