Abstract
Induction of labor should be used in the most efficient way possible that will result in a favorable obstetric outcome with minimum fetal morbidity.
This study was conducted at Obstetrics &gynecology department, Ain shams University, maternity hospital in the period of time between February 2014 to August 2015.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of doses of 50 μg vaginal misoprostol versus 3mg vaginal insert in induction of labor at term.
The total number of patients studied were 100 patients, divided into two groups; the first group (A) included 50 patients who received vaginal misoprostol 50 μg every 4hours for a maximum of 3 doses, the second group (B) included 50 patients who received dinoprostone 3mg vaginally every 6 hours for a maximum of 2 doses.
The current study found that misoprostol has a better chance for NVD and a lesser probability to CS , shorter induction delivery interval and lesser need of oxytocin augmentation in comparing to dinoprostone. While both drugs were equal regarding maternal and fetal safety.
