Abstrakt: Considerable investigative interest has been given to the oxytocin-like effect of the prostaglandins for the induction of labor. However, in depth studies on the effects on the neonate have not appeared in the literature. The present study was designed to evaluate the possible clinical and biochemical alterations in the neonate subsequent to the use of prostaglandin F2αfor the induction of labor in a double blind study with oxytocin. No significant differences between the two groups of infants could be identified by the methods used.
