Summary
The study compares two rhythms of administration of prostaglandin vaginal gels for cervical
priming before induction of labor in term patients. In our institution, prostaglandin gels
are given for a maximum of three times, with induction by oxytocin and amniotomy the day
after the last gel whatever Bishop score has been obtained. This management results in some
patient spending four days in hospital before delivery. The aim of the study is to compare
our classical management scheme with a reduced interval between to gels, of 12h instead of 24
h. The primary outcome will be the time elapsed between the first prostaglandin gel and
delivery. Tolerance of both management patterns will also be evaluated through a satisfaction
survey.
