Failed medical induction of labour - what does this mean
Failed medical induction of labour occurs when the uterus fails to respond to the medications used to induce labour, resulting in a prolonged period of labour or failed induction. it is often caused by a variety of factors such as an unfavourable cervix, inadequate uterine contractions, or fetal malposition.
What happens during the disease - failed medical induction of labour
Failed medical induction of labour is caused by inadequate cervical ripening and/or uterine contractility leading to an insufficiently strong or sustained contraction pattern to effect successful labour induction. this can be due to a variety of factors, including the mother's age, parity, body habitus, cervical fibrosis, and the presence of medical conditions such as pre-eclampsia or diabetes. inadequate cervical ripening can also be caused by an insufficient dose or duration of the induction agents used.
