Amniotomy to induce labor is used frequently. The potential risks compared with potential benefits of artificial rupture of membranes have caused the popularity of amniotomy to vary in the last two centuries. Although there are little data available from prospective randomized studies regarding the effectiveness of amniotomy alone to induce labor, several series have showed success in its use. In addition, no well-accepted, prospectively randomized study is available comparing the effectiveness of amniotomy to oxytocin for induction of labor. The most effective combination of amniotomy with uterotonic agents to induce labor is still a fertile area for investigation.
人工破膜引产术被频繁使用。在过去两个世纪里，与人工破膜的潜在益处相比，其潜在风险致使人工破膜引产术的受欢迎程度有所变化。尽管前瞻性随机研究中关于单纯人工破膜引产有效性的数据很少，但有几个系列研究表明其使用是成功的。此外，尚无被广泛认可的前瞻性随机研究来比较人工破膜与缩宫素引产的有效性。人工破膜与宫缩剂联合引产的最有效组合仍是一个有待深入研究的领域。
