Clinical Trial 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%.

Intervention

Drug:
• Dinoprostone
In case of failure of cervical ripening after a first intravaginal delivery device of Dinoprostone (Propess® 10 mg), patients receive a second Propess®, followed by Oxytocin 5U.I/ml (Syntocinon®) (if necessary) and epidural analgesia if desired by the patient.
• Oxytocine
In case of failure of cervical ripening after a first intravaginal delivery device of Dinoprostone (Propess® 10mg), patients receive directly Oxytocin 5U.I/ml (Syntocinon®) and epidural analgesia if desired by the patient.
