Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialRandomized controlled trial of glove perforation in single- and double-gloving in episiotomy repair after vaginal delivery.
The aims of the study presented here were to compare the rate of glove perforation between single-gloving and double-gloving methods, and the time of operation and level of surgeon in episiotomy repair after vaginal delivery. ⋯ The double-gloving method significantly reduced the risk of exposure of the surgeon's hand to the patient's blood, when compared with the single-gloving method in episiotomy repair. There were no differences in the rate of glove perforations compared to the time of operation and level of surgeon.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of oral and vaginal misoprostol for induction of labor at term: a randomized controlled trial.
To compare the efficacy of oral with vaginal misoprostol for induction of labor at term. ⋯ Oral administration of 100 microg misoprostol has similar efficacy to intravaginal administration of 50 microg misoprostol for labor induction with less frequent abnormal uterine contractility. 100 microg of misoprostol orally can be used as an alternative to the vaginal route for labor induction.
