Abstract

Background: This study compared the efficacy and safety of the intracervical Foley catheter and dinoprostone insert for cervical ripening to achieve successful labor induction.

Methods: This was a randomized controlled study conducted. Group A received Dinoprostone cervical gel 0.5mg instilled in the cervical canal. Maximum of three doses (1.5mg dinoprostone) could be administered 6 hours apart. Patients randomized to group B were subjected to Foleys catheter insertion. Primary efficacy parameter was change in Bishops score as compared to baseline.

Conclusion: Our study showed that for pre induction cervical ripening there was no difference in efficacy between intracervical Foleys catheter and PGE2 gel.
