“…Efficacy of sweeping of membranes has been proved in several studies like Swann 1958, 24 Weissberg and Spellacy in 1977, 25 Epley et al1984; 26 El Turkey and grant et al 1992 16 with spontaneous onset of labor between 44-89% and Berghella et al 20 the incidence of post-term pregnancy being 2.1% which is lower than that of general population. Our study also shared the same rate of post-term pregnancy in sweeping group.…”

“…12,13 In several trials sweeping has been reported as an effective method to reduce the number of pregnancies exceeding 41weeks. [14][15][16][17] Some studies have noted no reduction in the need for post-term induction with a single attempt of membrane sweeping whereas multiple attempts may be more efficacious. 18 A recently published RCT by de Mirande et al and the recent Cochrane review showed that serial sweeping of the membranes decrease the incidence of prolonged pregnancies.…”

“…Thus, the results cannot be generalised to settings where sweeping of the membranes is carried out by a number of obstetricians. Concerns about women's discomfort during the procedure have been raised 11,12 . This issue needs to be further addressed before recommendations can be made regarding this intervention.…”

Objective 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of sweeping of the membranes to reduce the need for a formal Design A randomised controlled clinical trial.Setting Three tertiary care hospitals of the province of Quebec, Canada.Population Two hundred women for whom non-urgent induction of labour was medically indicated.Methods Women were randomly allocated to sweeping of membranes, or vaginal examination for Bishop scoring only.Main outcome measures 1. Cumulative incidence and relative risk of induction of labour by either oxytocin, prostaglandins or amniotomy; 2. women's discomfort and side effects attributable to sweeping of the membranes.Results Women allocated to sweeping of the membranes required formal induction of labour less frequently than women in the control group, but this difference was not statistically significant (49% vs 60%, RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.64-1.07). Pain during vaginal examination and other side effects were more frequently reported by women allocated to the sweeping group. ConclusionsThe observed reduction in the need for formal induction of labour is smaller than in previous studies. Side effects and discomfort associated with sweeping of the membranes must be taken into account when counselling women who require induction of labour.induction of labour; 2. to evaluate the side effects of this intervention.

Objective: The aims of this study is to determine the efficacy of membrane stripping for induction of labor in women in term and its role in increasing the rate of vaginal delivery. Collection of samples: Randomized clinical trial was conducted for the period one year (June 2020 –June 2021) at Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia-Syria. The study included 148 pregnant women in term, and were divided into group (1) included 98 pregnant women who underwent membrane stripping, and group (2) included 50 pregnant women without membrane stripping. Results: The mean age was26.5±5.5 years, without significant differences between the two groups regarding gestational age, obstetric history, and status of cervix. In membrane stripping group, the rate of spontaneous labor was (81.63%), and the response was higher in women with intermediate cervix (89.4%). The rate of vaginal delivery was (85.7%), with low requirement for labor induction (5.1%). On the other hand, in pregnant women group without membrane stripping, the rate of spontaneous labor was (54%), and the response was higher in women with ripe cervix (77.3%). The rate of vaginal delivery was (58%), with high requirement for labor induction (26%). Conclusion: Our study findings suggest that membrane stripping represents a safe and effective procedure for induction of labor and reducing the rate of cesarean delivery especially in the case of intermediate cervix.
