Labor is induced to stimulate contractions of the uterus in an effort to have a vaginal birth.
Laminaria labor induction. The safety and efficacy of laminaria tents as an adjunct to labor induction near term were examined in a prospective controlled and randomized study involving insertion of laminaria into the cervical canal the evening prior to planned induction. Six of 35 subjects in whom laminaria were used entered labor spontaneously and delivered overnight compared with 1 of 39 controls. Of the remainder the Bishop score increased an average of 37 points a highly significant change in the laminaria.
Laminaria also provides a gradual dilation by absorbing natural uterine moisture. In return the rods slowly swell and cause cervical dilation. Nevertheless Laminaria are not commonly used for labour induction procedure.
They are a natural product which may increase the risk of infection. Oral laminaria supplements should not be used to induce labor or terminate a pregnancy. For these uses your doctor may recommend laminaria sticks.
When properly placed in. A 2-day induction with amniotomy on day 2 was allowed. Forty-eight patients were studied including 22 controls.
Though laminaria resulted in consistent cervical ripening it was no better than the control in improving the rate of successful induction. Additionally the induction time was no shorter with laminaria. There were no demonstrable infections or other adverse sequelae following use of laminaria.
For a standard 2-day induction protocol laminaria. The safety and efficacy of laminaria tents as an adjunct to labor induction near term were examined in a prospective controlled and randomized study involving insertion of laminaria into the cervical canal the evening prior to planned induction. Six of 35 subjects in whom laminaria were used entered labor spontaneously and delivered overnight compared with 1 of 39 controls.
Of the remainder the Bishop score increased an average of 37 points a highly significant change in the laminaria. The safety and efficacy of laminaria tents as an adjunct to labor induction near term were examined in a prospective controlled and randomized study involving insertion of laminaria into the cervical canal the evening prior to planned induction. Six of 35 subjects in whom laminaria were used entered labor spontaneously and delivered overnight compared with 1 of 39 controls.
We sought to determine whether placement of laminaria tents improve time to delivery compared with misoprostol alone in second trimester labor induction. We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing second trimester labor induction. Patients with ruptured membranes abruption cervical dilation and chorioamnionitis at presentation were excluded.
Labor is induced to stimulate contractions of the uterus in an effort to have a vaginal birth. Labor induction may be recommended if the health of the mother or fetus is at risk. In special situations labor is induced for nonmedical reasons such as living far away from the hospital.
This is called elective induction. Elective induction should not occur before 39 weeks of pregnancy. Pre-induction cervical ripening is an important part of the labor induction process in women with an unfavorable cervix.
This can be achieved either by pharmacologic or mechanical methods of. Laminaria was used as an adjunct to indicate induction of labor in a select population of patients with differing maternal or fetal factors demanding delivery in the face of an uninducible cervix. The study group was made up of inpatients on the maternal-fetal special-care unit who had been scheduled for induction prior to enrollment in the study by the attending physician because of maternal indications.
Patients were randomly allocated to either the laminaria. Women who undergo cervical ripening and labor induction and augmentation.

Know various induction methods and. It is a rigid gel rod that increases in volume by absorbing fluids from the cervical canal so it gradually dilates the cervix. The thin 4 mm rod can expand up to 15 mm over a 1224 hours period.
This allows it to dilate and soften the cervix gradually. Mechanical methods were the first methods developed to ripen the cervix or to induce labour. Devices which were used include various type of catheters and of laminaria tents introduced into the.
Induction is carried out generally when the risk of continuing pregnancy outweighs the benefits or at the request of pregnant women. Mechanical methods for induction promote cervical ripening and onset of labour by stretching the cervix. They are amongst the oldest methods used to initiate labour.
