Is There an Interest in Repeating the Vaginal Administration of Dinoprostone (Propess®), to Promote Induction of Labor of Pregnant Women at Term?
Stopped: Not enough patients
France160 participantsStarted 2016-12
Plain-language summary
According perinatal surveys, induction of labor is performed at more than 20% of pregnant women.
According to a survey on the trigger practices in France, prostaglandins are widely used to initiate cervical ripening, usually by laying intravaginal dinoprostone (Propess®).
The overall work-up rate due to the use of a single Propess® is 74.6% with 80% of vaginal deliveries.
Currently, 25.4% of patients who was not put in work after 24 hours are triggered by oxytocin (Syntocinon®) or directly caesarean. The initial installation of intravaginal dinoprostone limits the use of oxytocin (Syntocinon®) or in lower doses.
Using a second Propess® is carried out in several maternity hospitals, as reported by the survey on the cervical ripening practices in France. This second administration could be the solution to reduce the rate of caesarean in France which amounted to 20.8%.
