Mechanical methods for induction of labour
Marta Jozwiak,Kitty W.M. Bloemenkamp,Anthony J Kelly,Ben W.J. Mol,Olivier Irion,Michel Boulvain +5 more
TL;DR: Mechanical methods reduced the risk of hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes when compared with vaginal prostaglandins: vaginal PGE2 (eight studies; 1203 women, RR 0.16; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.64 to 1.26) and misoprostol (3% versus 9%).

TL;DR: Overall, misoprostol and oxytocin with amniotomy (for women with favourable cervix) is more successful than other agents in achieving VD within 24 hours and several treatments reduced the odds of caesarean section, but there was considerable uncertainty in treatment rankings.

Comparison of Vaginal Misoprostol with Foley Catheter for Cervical Ripening and Induction of Labor
Fatemeh Vahid Roudsari,Sedigheh Ayati,Marzieh Ghasemi,Maliheh Hasanzadeh Mofrad,Mohamad Taghi Shakeri,Farnoush Farshidi,Masoud Shahabian +6 more
TL;DR: In the cases of pregnancy termination and unripe cervix, two methods of misoprostol and Foley catheter were considered suitable, but it seemed that misop frostol decreases the delivery time and was needed for the cesarean section.

Combined Foley's catheter with vaginal misoprostol for pre-induction cervical ripening: A randomised controlled trial.
TL;DR: Pre‐induction cervical ripening greatly influences the outcome of induction of labour (IOL) and the decision to induce labour is driven by the mother and the baby.

Intracervical Foley Catheter Plus Intravaginal Misoprostol vs Intravaginal Misoprostol Alone for Cervical Ripening: A Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: Labor induction with a combination of intracervical Foley catheter and intravaginal misoprostol may be a better choice based on advantages in shortening induction time and reducing the risk of uterine tachysystole and meconium staining compared to intravagsinal misOProstol alone.

Journal ArticleDOI
Labor induction with misoprostol.
TL;DR: Overall, most trials fail to demonstrate a significant change in the cesarean delivery rate with the use of this agent, but misoprostol is an effective agent for cervical ripening and labor induction when used in a judicious and cautious fashion.

TL;DR: Intravaginal misoprostol and transcervical Foley catheter are equivalent for cervical ripening and Uterine contractile abnormalities and meconium passage are more common with misop frostol.

TL;DR: Intravaginal Misoprostol is as effective a pre-induction cervical ripening agent as transcervical Foley catheters, with added advantages of shorter duration of cervical ripens, reduced oxytocin requirement for induction of labour and greater acceptability to patients.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that misoprostol can be used safely for induction of labour in settings where there are no items of sophisticated monitoring equipment.
