Misoprostol, the prostaglandin E1 analog, is increasingly used for cervical ripening and induction of labor. We evaluated our experience with misoprostol in an open-label setting.
Patients were selected for cervical ripening based on clinical profile. At 3 cm cervical dilation, misoprostol was discontinued and other means of labor augmentation were used. Over 13 months, 470 inductions of labor occurred, and 455 charts were available; 254 patients (56%) received misoprostol for cervical ripening, and 144 (32%) received dinoprostone (prostaglandin E2).
With misoprostol, mean time from beginning of contractions until delivery was 7 hours, 30 minutes; vaginal birth occurred in 85% of cases, and spontaneous labor occurred in 38%. Hyperstimulation occurred in 4 cases (1.6%) and precipitate labor in 7 (3%). All infants were discharged in excellent condition; one had a 5-minute Apgar score <7, and 33 (13%) had meconium, none with aspiration. Twenty-three patients who had had a previous cesarean section received misoprostol and delivered vaginally.
Misoprostol was found to be a safe and effective agent for cervical ripening as part of labor induction.
米索前列醇,一种前列腺素E1类似物,越来越多地用于宫颈成熟和引产。我们评估了在开放标签环境下使用米索前列醇的经验。
根据临床情况选择患者进行宫颈成熟。宫颈扩张至3厘米时,停用米索前列醇并采用其他引产方法。在13个月的时间里,共进行了470例引产,其中455份病历可用;254例患者(56%)接受米索前列醇进行宫颈成熟,144例(32%)接受地诺前列酮(前列腺素E2)。
使用米索前列醇时,从开始宫缩到分娩的平均时间为7小时30分钟;85%的病例实现阴道分娩,38%为自然分娩。4例(1.6%)出现子宫收缩过强,7例(3%)出现急产。所有婴儿均状况良好出院;1例5分钟阿氏评分<7,33例(13%)有胎粪,均无吸入。23例曾行剖宫产的患者接受米索前列醇并经阴道分娩。
米索前列醇被发现是一种安全有效的宫颈成熟药物,可作为引产的一部分。
