  • Title: Introduction of labor after intrauterine fetal death: A comparison between prostaglandin E2 and oxytocin.
    Author: Gordon H, Pipe NG.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1975 Jan; 45(1):44-6. PubMed ID: 1110817.
    Abstract:
    Medical induction of labor was attempted in 30 women after intrauterine death of the fetus. Labor was induced in 15 patients with oxytocin and in an additional 15 patients with prostaglandin E2. The results suggest that prostaglandin has some advantage over oxytocin in these circumstances, and that prostaglandins may be especially useful in this difficult clinical situation.
