What is Induction of Labour?
• Induction of labor is the artificial initiation of labour mechanism prior to its spontaneous onset.

Membrane Sweeping
Prostaglandins
Amniotomy
Oxytocin
Methods of induction of labor
hygroscopic dilators, osmotic dilators (Laminaria japonicum), Foley catheters, double balloon devices, and extraamniotic saline infusion.
![Page 14: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Misoprostol (a prostaglandin E1 analogue) has several potential advantages: it is stable at room temperature, it is relatively inexpensive and it can be given via several routes (oral, vaginal, sublingual, buccal). These properties make misoprostol an ideal agent for induction of labour, particularly in settings where the use of prostaglandin E2 is not possible owing to lack of availability, facilities for storage, or financial constraints.
• Since the use of a powerful uterotonic such as misoprostol can lead to adverse maternal and perinatal effects, it is important to review the effectiveness and the side-effects of misoprostol use in cervical priming and induction of labour. This commentary evaluates three Cochrane reviews that sought to determine the effectiveness and safety of misoprostol administered orally (3), buccally (sublingually) (4), or vaginally (5) for third-trimester cervical ripening and induction of labour.
![Page 15: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Membrane sweeping• Its possible only if the
cervix has ripened to allow the passage of one finger.
• Insertion of a gloved finger through the cervix and it’s rotation against the wall of the uterus.
• Its strips off the chorionic membrane from the underlying decidua releases PGS
• Placenta previa should be excluded, Accidental amniotomy is a disadvantage.
![Page 16: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Amniotomy
• AROMstretching of the cervix & separation of the membranes release of Prostaglandins
• Depends on the state of the cervix and station of the presenting part
• ADV:High success rate and chance to see the amniotic fluid
• DIS: cannot be applied in an unfavourable cervix, possibility of cord prolapse
![Page 17: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Amniotomy CONTRAINDICATIONS: 1.IUD 2.HIV HAZARDS: 1.Cord prolapse 2.Amnionitis 3.Amniotic fluid
embolism4. Abruptio

Prostaglandins
• Chemistry:PG is a carboxylic acid synthetised from arachidonic acid.
• Source: menstrual fluid, endometrium, decidua and amniotic membrane
TYPES• PGE1 -amnion• PGE2-amnion• PGF2-decidua and myometrium• PGI2-myometrium
![Page 19: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mechanism of action• It causes change in the
myometrial cell memb permeablity and alteration in the membrane bound calcium
• It also sensitises the mometrium to the oxytocin
• PGE2 has its collagenolytic activityalter the ground substance of cervixcx ripening

How to give Misoprostol?
• Dose of 25 micro gram every 4hrly to a maximum of 6 doses can be given intravaginally
• Dose of 50micro gram every 3hrs to a maximum of 6 doses can be given orally
• Dose of 25micro gram every 2hrs can be given orally
• Other routes of administration: 1.Buccal 2.rectal 3.sublingual
![Page 22: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Oral Vs vaginal Misoprostol
ORAL
• Less effective when compared to vaginal PG
• Chance of fetal distress is less
VAGINAL
• More effective when compared to oral route
• Chance of fetal distress is more
![Page 23: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dinoprostone• Vaginal gel 0.5mg can be given
intracervically.• It can be repeated after 6 hrs for 3 – 4
doses if required• Vaginal tab 3 mg can be given
in the posterior fornix followed by 3mg after 6-8 hrs to a maximum dose of 6mg
• Vaginal pessary releasing dinoprostone 10mg over 24hrs.It is removed when cx ripening is adequate
![Page 24: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

uterus• Tachysystole• Fetal distress• Rupture uterus
![Page 26: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Contraindications of PGs
• Bronchial asthma• Pulmonary disease• Previous uterine scar
is relatively contraindicated
![Page 27: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Oxytocin• It’s a nanopeptide
synthetised in the supra optic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus.
• Half life of 3-4 mins and duration of action 20 mins
• Oxytocin is used very commonly to achieve induction of labour.
• The objective is to produce uterine contractions that effectively produce cervical change and descent of the presenting part.
![Page 28: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Mode of Action 1.It acts throgh the receptor and voltage
gated calcium channelmyometrial contraction
2.It stimulates amniotic and decidual PG production
Preparations• Available in ampoules containing 5IU/ml• Buccal tab containing 50IU/ml• Nasal solution containing 40units/ml
Routes of administration:• 1.I.V infusion• Intra muscular• Buccal tablets• Nasal spray
![Page 29: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How to give?
Maximum dose of oxytocin 5IU in 500ml of fluid at the rate of 40drops /min
![Page 30: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Oxytocin (syntocinon) should be used with extreme caution in multiparous women. Oxytocin (syntocinon) should not be started for six hours following administration of vaginal prostaglandins If a trial of labour is judged safe then Oxytocin may be used. Oxytocin should be used with caution with a previous uterine scar.
Oxytocin should always be used in conjunction with the partogram once in established labour.
FACTS
![Page 32: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Advantages• Cheaper and effective• Easy titrable
Disadv:.Needs refrigeration.Effectiveness less with: 1. less Bishop
score 2.IUD 3.lesser weeks of
pregnancy
![Page 33: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Hazards of oxytocin• Uterine hyperstimulation: (Normal:3 contractions in 10 mins
each lasting for 45secs) (>5 contractions in 10mins each
lasting for 1min)• Water intoxication:It due to anti diuretic action(30- 40IU/ml).Manifested by hyponatremia,confusion,coma and CCF• Fetal distress• Uterine rupture• Hypotension
![Page 34: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When to interrupt?
• When there is hyperstimulation of uterus
• Fetal distress• Signs of water intoxication.
(Occurs with the max dose of 100 IU in the interval of less than 24hrs .clinically Manifested after 24hrs)
![Page 35: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Oxytocin Vs Misoprostol• Safe,cheap and
effective• Unstable at room
temp• Easily titrable• Chance of fetal
distress is less• More effective near
term• Less effective with
less Bishop score and in IUD
• Tablet form is cheap& effective
• Stable at room temp,PGE1-unstable
• Not titrable• Chance of fetal
distress is more• Effective
irrespective of gestation

Failed Induction Of Labor
• If Amniotomy is still impossible after a maximum no. of doses of Prostaglandins have been given or
• If the cervix remains uneffaced and <3cm dilated after an Amniotomy has been performed &
• Oxytocin has been running for 6-8hrs with regular contractions
• Possible Causes1. Placental Sulfatase
deficiency
2. Lack of Essential Cytokines
![Page 37: Induction of labour](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b00dcb4c9059f798b5592/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Complications of IOL
• Uterine Hyperstimulation
• Uterine rupture• Maternal Upset
• Iatrogenic Fetal Prematurity
• Fetal Distress• Failed induction

CONCLUSION during Induction of Labor,
B enefits should be weighed,
R isks should be assessed,
A lternatives should be considered,
N ecessity of intervention adjudged &
D ecision should be taken accordingly
BUT,
INJUDICIOUS USE of Labor Inducing agents should be avoided
