Comparative study of misoprostol and oxytocin in induction of labor in full-term pregnancy complicated with premature rupture of membranes

Abstract

Objective To investigate effect of the application of misoprostol and oxytocin in full-term pregnancy induced labor with premature rupture of membranes. Methods From March 2016 to June 2017, 95 pregnant women in term pregnancy induced labor with premature rupture of membranes in General Hospital of Taiyuan Iron&Steel (Group) CO.LTD were selected as the research objects, and they were randomly divided into study group and control group, the control group was given oxytocin, the study group was given misoprostol for induction of labor, then the effect, the total production process, delivery time, labor time, maternal and infant outcomes, the occurrence of adverse reactions of the two groups were observed. Results The total effective rate of pregnant women of the study group and the control group were 95.83%, 78.72%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant(χ2=7.136, P 0.05). Conclusion Compared with oxytocin, misoprostol for full-term pregnancy with fetal membranes induction effect is more significant, which can shorten the birth process, improve maternal and child outcomes.So it is worthy of clinical promotion.
