title: [Induction of labor with the help of the prostaglandins E1, E2, F1alpha, and F2alpha].
abstract: The authors report their experiences in inducing labour between the 34th and the 43rd week of amenorrhea by the administration of prostaglandins. The detailed results of several series are compared: PGF2alpha by venous perfusion alone (100 cases) or associated with buccal oxytocin (100 other cases), PGE1 by perfusion (25 cases), PGF2alpha and PGE2 by intra-amniotic injection in cases of fetal death (25 cases). After an extremely detailed discussion of the maternal and fetal results and of the secondary effects, the authors explain the indications, the means of introduction, and also the dosages. Finally they compare the effects of prostaglandins in full-term inductions and in so-called therapeutic abortions.
