Résumé (français) : | Les complications des déclenchements ont deux origines: la physiologie du début du travail et les effets secondaires des procédures et des médicaments. |
Abstract (English) : | Problems with inductions stem from two sources: the physiology of initiating labor and the side effects of the procedures and drugs. First, despite common belief that they can, obstetricians cannot switch labor on at will. Starting and intensifying labor involves a complex cascade of feedback mechanisms that mutually reinforce and limit each other. It is an elegant and delicate dance of hormones and other substances between the baby, who initiates and controls the process, and the mother. Dumping in oxytocin — with or without cervical ripening procedures — often won’t initiate progressive labor unless labor was on the verge of starting on its own. This is the main reason why studies consistently show that inducing labor, apart from the reason for induction, considerably increases the likelihood of cesarean section in first-time mothers. (Some studies have concluded otherwise. The reasons why are instructive and are discussed in the 2nd section.) |

Argument (français) : | L’administration massive d’ocytocines -- combinée ou non avec des procédures de maturation du col -- ne permet pas en général d’initier le travail progressif, à moins qu’il ne soit sur le point de se déclencher lui-même. |
