The programming of labor (setting the best possbile time under optimal conditions) was carried out in the University Women's Hospital, Freiburg i. Br. between 1970 and 1975 in 1121 cases. No perinatal mortality was reported. The secondary frequency of cesarean section for this primarily uncomplicated labor was 3.21% (general hospital statistics for this time period: 6.29%). The most important factors for the strict standardized method of induction is the observation of the pelvic score (desired: greater than 6) and a moderate dose of oxytocin or prostaglandin based on the essential amniotomy. In a statistical comparison of three groups of patients (n = 786): programmed labor (n = 427), induction via the same type of method where transference was suspected (n = 158), and uncomplicated spontaneous labor (n=183), the results with induced labor were better than those with spontaneous labor. In addition for the fact that the course of labor could be preplanned and the period of labor shortened intrauterine and partal complications occurred less frequently with programmed labor than with spontaneous labor. Placental complications and the tendency toward postpartum atony must be discussed. Minor complications decreased as the weight, length and gestation period of the newborn increased. Individual palpation until the physiological maturity for birth is reached would, therefore, seem to be required. Observe the conditions and increase antepartal controls. Only by setting the exact time for labor with modern methods of supervision is it theoretically possible to eliminate the danger of active management. The organizational problem involved with a general programming of labor poses the major problem at present.
