Detailed Assessment

Certain maternal and fetal conditions require induction of labor for the safety and well-being of either the mother or baby. Similarly, once fetal maturity has been reached, elective induction of labor remains an option for delivery timing and patient request. A thorough understanding of the physiologic mechanisms of labor onset and maintenance has allowed obstetrical providers to induce labor from the quiescent state and augment spontaneous labor in the latent or prolonged state. The goal of labor induction and augmentation is the successful and expedited delivery of the neonate in a manner that is safe to both the mother and the infant. Positive maternal outcomes include a shortened admission to onset of labor time, shortened first stage of labor, successful vaginal delivery, and avoidance of intraamniotic infection or postpartum hemorrhage. Positive fetal outcomes include absence of meconium amniotic fluid staining, regular newborn nursery admission, and hospital discharge with the mother. In this review, we outline the various mechanical, chemical, and natural methods of labor induction and augmentation, including a detailed assessment of the risks and benefits of each method for both the mother and baby. This review contains 7 figures, 4 tables, and 33 references.

Nulliparous Women

Objective Evaluate the association between cervical examination after ripening with Foley catheter and labor induction outcomes. Materials and Methods In this retrospective cohort, nulliparous women with singleton, viable gestation undergoing cervical ripening with Foley catheter were compared based on cervical status after catheter removal or expulsion: favorable (modified Bishop score ≥ 5) or unfavorable (score < 5). Bivariable and multivariable analyses were performed to determine whether cervical examination postripening was associated with time to delivery and chance of vaginal delivery. Results A total of 774 women were eligible. Women with favorable examination postripening had lower body mass index (BMI) and more favorable admission cervical examination. The frequency of vaginal delivery was higher in women with favorable cervical examination postripening (57.9% versus 46.8%, p < 0.01). Median durations from Foley removal or expulsion to complete dilation (8.6 h versus 11.5 h) and vaginal delivery (10.4 h versus 13.2 h) were shorter for women with favorable cervical examination postripening (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, favorable examination postripening remained associated with vaginal delivery (adjusted odds ratio 1.39, 95% confidence interval 1.04–1.87), and time to vaginal delivery (adjusted hazard ratio 1.39, 95% confidence interval 1.13–1.70). Conclusion A favorable modified Bishop score after cervical ripening with Foley balloon catheter is associated with higher chance of vaginal delivery and shorter labor duration.

Abstract Objectives To assess the risk of chorioamnionitis in nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex (NTSV) pregnancies with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and an unfavorable cervix undergoing labor induction with either prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) or oxytocin only. Methods Retrospective cohort of NTSV pregnancies presenting with PROM who underwent labor induction with either PGE2 (n=94) or oxytocin (n=181) between October 2015 and March 2019. The primary outcome of chorioamnionitis was compared between the two groups. Statistical analysis included Chi-squared and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, as well as logistic regression. For time to delivery, a Cox proportional hazard regression was used to determine the hazard ratio (HR) and adjusted HR (aHR). Results Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. Cervical ripening with PGE2 was associated with an increased rate of chorioamnionitis (18.1 vs. 6.1%; aOR 4.14, p=0.001), increased neonatal intensive care unit admissions (20.2 vs. 9.9%; aOR 2.4, p=0.02), longer time interval from PROM to delivery (24.4 vs. 17.9 h; aHR 0.56, p=<0.0001), and lower incidence of meconium (7.4 vs. 14.4%; aOR 0.26, p=0.01), compared to the oxytocin group. Conclusions Based on our data, the use of oxytocin appears both superior and safer compared to PGE2 in NTSV pregnancies with PROM undergoing labor induction.

Abstract Background This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the induction of labour in mid-trimester pregnancy using a double-balloon catheter (DBC) within 12 h versus within 12–24 h. Methods In this retrospective study, a total of 58 pregnant women at 14 + 0 weeks to 27 + 6 weeks of gestation were enrolled as research subjects, and they underwent the intended termination of pregnancy at our birth centre from January 1, 2017, to June 31, 2019. Based on the duration of DBC, the patients were divided into two groups, namely, the DBC group within 12 h and the DBC group within 12–24 h. Results All 58 cases were successful vaginal deliveries, and no one chose to undergo caesarean section. The success rate of induction (successful abortion of the foetus and placenta without the implementation of dilation and evacuation) was higher in the DBC group within 12–24 h (96.3%, 29/31) than in the DBC group within 12 h (71.0%, 18/27) (p < 0.05). Additionally, the time from DBC removal to delivery in the DBC group within 12–24 h was significantly shorter than that in the DBC group within 12 h (3.0 h versus 17.8 h) (p < 0.05), and the degree of cervical dilation after DBC removal in the DBC group within 12–24 h was larger than that in the DBC group within 12 h (p < 0.05). Conclusion In the clinic, the placement time of DBC generally lasts for approximately 12 h. However, considering that the cervical condition is immature in the mid-trimester, properly extending the placement time of DBC to 24 h will benefit cervical ripening and reduce the chance of dilation and evacuation.
