Abstract:Summary: In a randomised study of 207 patients, labour was induced with oral prostaglandin E2in 107 and intravenous oxytocin (Syntocinon) in the remainder, half in each group with medication alone, the other half with fore-water amniotomy as well. Prostaglandin and oxytocin were found to be more effective when preceded by amniotomy. Once labour was established, the time taken to achieve vaginal delivery was the same with either drug, as also the number of successful vaginal deliveries. There were 6 failed inductions, but no statistical significance in the percentage differences between PGE2 and oxytocin could be found. The two perinatal deaths which occurred could not be attributed to either drug. Oral PGE2is therefore as effective as intravenous oxytocin with no observed hypertonus and little side-effects.
