Brief Summary:
The aim of present study is to compare the safety and efficacy of vaginal misoprostol versus the combination of vaginal misoprostol and intracervical Foley catheter in induction of labor at term pregnancy.
Detailed Description:
Cervical status is a good predictor of the likelihood of vaginal delivery when labor is induced. Any induction method is likely to be effective in a woman with a favorable cervix, whereas no method is highly successful when performed in a woman with a cervix that is unfavorable.
The use of a balloon catheter as induction method was first described in 1862 by Trainer. The goal of the catheter was to ripen the cervix through direct mechanical dilatation of the cervical canal and indirectly by increasing endogenous prostaglandin secretion.
Alternatively, Prostaglandins are one of the key players in cervical ripening by a number of different mechanisms.
