Abstract
Labor was induced via intravenous infusion of 16-phenoxy-prostaglandin-E2- methylsulphonylamide in 13 cases of missed abortion and 19 cases of intrauterine fetal death.. In all cases Bishop score was less than 4. Delivery occurred within 24 hours in all cases, with a minimal frequency of side effects (six cases of erythema above the incannulated vein and 1 case of diarrhea). The interval between the beginning of the infusion and delivery was 9.42 minutes. Uterine curettage was performed in 9 cases.
