[Reflex labor induction in premature labor complicated by premature rupture of fetal membranes].

Labor induction in impending premature delivery complicated by premature rupture of the membranes is controversial. Problems arise both with choice of a mode of delivery and induction manoeuvres to be used in biologically premature delivery. The paper addresses the results with a reflex method of labor induction based on transcutaneous electroneurostimulation (TENS). An appropriate TENS regimen was found to be a highly efficient method of labor induction allowing one to reduce the incidence of perinatal complications.
