Induction of Labor

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Despite the fact that induction of labor is one of the most common procedures in obstetrics, determining the ideal approach to achieve safe vaginal delivery with optimal maternal and neonatal outcomes in every situation remains a challenge. In this chapter, we discuss the most recent evidence to support the safe practice of labor induction, and acknowledged questions that remain unanswered.
