ABC of labour care: induction

This article by Geoffrey Chamberlain and Luke Zander (10 April, pp 995-8) includes a diagram titled “Inserting prostaglandin gel into upper vagina” (p 997).

Such a mistake usually causes a hypertonic uterine contraction, which may produce fetal distress and other complications.
