Cervical Ripening With a Double-lumen Balloon Catheter for Six Versus Twelve Hours
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Double-lumen balloon catheter for Induction of Labor Affected Fetus / Newborn. Completed, enrolled 204 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Foley catheter is a safe, effective method for cervical ripening. Limited data exists to indicate ideal time of placement for optimal cervical ripening prior to induction. The proposed study is a randomized control trial to determine if shortening placement from 12 to 6 hours of foley catheter can decrease time from start of induction to delivery. The prediction is that shortening foley bulb placement will result in shorter induction times, increased patient satisfaction and decreased length of stay on labor and delivery with secondary decreased medical costs.
