Twenty pregnant women with greater than or equal to 36 weeks gestation and Bishop score of less than or equal to 4 were subjected to either intracervical injection of PGE2 (0.25 mg) every 4 h to ripen the cervix and induce labor (study group n = 10) or injection of only the diluent (control group n = 10). PGE2 cases showed significant increase in Bishop score and were successfully induced. The mean induction-establishment and induction-delivery intervals were 4.3 +/- 0.1 min and 6.07 +/- 1.7 h, respectively. The control group showed no response. PGE2 cervical injection is a safe and effective method for cervical ripening and labor induction.
