Comparing vaginal and sublingual administration of misoprostol for labour induction in women with intra-uterine fetal death
View through CrossRef
The objective of this study was to compare complications and effectiveness of induction after vaginal and sublingual administration of misoprostol for labor induction in women with intra-uterine fetal death (IUFD). In a district hospital in Ghana, 23 women with IUFD who underwent labor induction with sublingual misoprostol were compared with a control group of 21 women who received vaginal misoprostol. In the vaginal group 28.6% had one or more complications compared to 21.7% in the sublingual group. In the sublingual group three inductions did not lead to delivery within 48 hours (13%), compared to four in the other group (19%). The mean induction-to-delivery time in the sublingual group was 13 hours and 17 hours in the vaginal group. In this study, both sublingual and vaginal misoprostol were safe and efficient for labor induction in women with IUFD. However, more research on larger numbers of patients is needed, in order to compare complications.
