摘要

Objective

To compare the efficacy and side effects of Foley balloon catheter with intracervical dinoprostone gel in nulliparous women undergoing induction of labor.

Study Design

A randomized comparative study was carried out in tertiary care hospital over a 18-month period.

Methods

Randomized controlled study in which 240-women who required induction of labor were randomized into two groups: Group 1—Foley catheter, Group 2—Prostaglandin E2 intracervical (PGE2) gel. Induction delivery interval (IDI), side effects, complications, and neonatal outcomes were compared in both the groups.

Results

Induction delivery interval (p value = 0.466) was similar in both the groups. There was significant difference in terms of final Bishop score (p value < 0.001), induction to spontaneous rupture of membrane (p value < 0.001), and duration of oxytocin administration (p value = 0.005). Mode of delivery was comparable in both the groups in terms of normal vaginal delivery (p value = 0.666) and LSCS (p value = 0.390). Both the groups had minimal side effects. Neonatal outcomes in terms of APGAR score (P value = 0.421) and NICU admission (p value = 1.000) were also comparable in both the groups.

Conclusion

The study concluded that extra amniotic Foley balloon catheter is an effective, safe, simple, reversible, non-pharmacological mechanical method of preinduction cervical ripening in nulliparous women.
