Abstract

Worldwide incidence of induced births continues to rise. In developed countries, labor induction frequency approaching 30% of total delivery. The procedure of induction of labor can not be considered completely secure, which leads to the need to find an effective and safe method of labor induction. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of various schemes of labor induction with prostaglandin E1 and their effect on perinatal outcomes. We studied vaginal and oral misoprostol, as well as induction of labor scheme “chinin-oxytocin”. Evaluated the main parameters of the act of birth and the condition of the fetus and newborn. The high efficiency of misoprostol for induction of labor used, as in the oral and vaginal administration. It was revealed that vaginal administration of misoprostol every third pregnant woman meets irregular, discoordinated contructions, whereas the oral administration of misoprostol this anomaly uterine activity is less common. Most of the children in all groups were born with Apgar scores of 7 points or higher. The data indicate that the efficacy and safety of misoprostol used for labor induction.
