ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cervical ripening refers to the softening of the cervix as a necessary anatomical feature for the progression of labor. The most common drugs for this are synthetic prostaglandins such as misoprostol. In recent years the use of nitric oxide donors drugs reported as facilitators of cervical ripening has become important. The nitric oxide donors increases the proinflammatory state and induce the production of F2a prostaglandins.
Objective: To determine the efficacy of isosorbide mononitrate in the induction of labor with term pregnancy in the Hospital of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Mother and Child Institute of the State of Mexico.
Material and methods: Observational, prospective and descriptive study with cohort design. Patients chosen between September 1 and December 31, 2014 with initial Bishop less than six points, term pregnancy and first time pregnant from the Emergency and Hospitalization Department were included. To each patient was applied isosorbide mononitrate 20, 40 and 60 mg vaginally every eight hours with a vaginal examination, upon application, to determine current Bishop index.
Results: 25 patients were included. The average age was 19.9 years. 72% had an initial Bishop index higher than nine points. All of them with term pregnancy. 20% of patients showed a cervical ripening with 20 mg of isosorbide mononitrate. The route of resolution by childbirth delivery occurs in 68% of patients.
Conclusions: The resulting cervical ripening after use of isosorbide mononitrate is adequate and raises the score of Bishop index, according to the results of this study, obtaining a greater number of vaginal deliveries.
