The glossary definition of amniotomy given here included the following:
It [amniotomy] is commonly performed to induce labour, if a woman is booked for prostin induction but has a favourable cervix on the Bishops score (usually a multip i.e has already given birth) then instead of prostin induction you may hear the term "she is ARMable" thus meaning they will take her to delivery suite to perform this.

Isn't it reasonable that, in an educational resource section, this approach to amniotomy should be questioned?
Kentish Spitfire specifically asked for references, since we were in the educational resources section, therefore I provided them. I don't consider that to be "throwing them around", but merely giving people an opportunity to look at the evidence and make up their own minds about the use of ARM for induction in various situations.
