Popis: | OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness in preventing cesarean section for failed induction by using Foley catheter for cervical ripening in comparison to Foley catheter with a weight attached to it. METHODS A randomized control trial conducted between November 2018 and July 2020, which looked at induction of labor with 30-ml Foley catheter in one arm and the Foley placed with a 500 ml weight attached to it in the other arm. Primary outcome was the cesarean section rate. RESULTS We randomized 399 women. Modes of delivery were similar in both groups. Numbers undergoing cesarean section for failed induction were higher in the group that underwent induction with Foley with weight but this was not statistically significant (45.7% vs 26.5%, P = 0.1). There was a shorter time to expulsion of the Foley with weight attached (mean ± standard deviation: 2.6 ± 3.3 h vs 10.9 ± 3.2 h, P |
