There are clinical induction methods of labour, whether pharmacological or mechanical, with indications, advantages and risks of each. Complications can be identified in time and thus interventions can be taken through effective monitoring of labour by continuous or intermittent fetal and maternal assessment. This review will compile the existing evidence related to the methods, guidelines and outcomes related to induction and monitoring of labour, best practices and difficulties in clinical practice. The focus is on the balancing of the benefits of intervention and maternal and neonatal safety. These approaches are vital and clinicians need to understand them to make evidence-based and informed decisions and enhance perinatal outcomes.
