Description

Background: One of the most popular obstetric procedures performed in obstetric facilities is labour induction. For over one-fifth of labours, induction is required. There are currently a variety of techniques for inducing labour; the most popular ones are mechanical and pharmacological. The aim of present study is to assess the efficacy of mechanical method of induction of labour with oxytocin augmentation. Methods: The present prospective study was conducted at department of obstetrics and gynecology among 100 pregnant women requiring induction of labour during the study period of two years. A thorough medical history was recorded, including the mother’s age, parity, and gestational age and other baseline investigations were completed and data was analyzed using SPPS version 25.0. Results: The most common indications of labour induction were term gestation (62%), gestational hypertension (20%), GDM (5%). Induction to delivery interval was variable in primigravida (62) and multigravida (38). The mean weight of neonate was 3.026 kgs. APGAR score at 1 mt was 6.48± 0.87 and at 5 mt was 8.87 ± 0.07. Conclusion: Mechanical methods work well for inducing labour.  If they would be used in combination with other methods would give best results.

There are currently a variety of techniques for inducing labour; the most popular ones are mechanical and pharmacological. The aim of present study is to assess the efficacy of mechanical method of induction of labour with oxytocin augmentation. Methods: The present prospective study was conducted at department of obstetrics and gynecology among 100 pregnant women requiring induction of labour during the study period of two years. A thorough medical history was recorded, including the mother’s age, parity, and gestational age and other baseline investigations were completed and data was analyzed using SPPS version 25.0. Results: The most common indications of labour induction were term gestation (62%), gestational hypertension (20%), GDM (5%).
