Introduction: Induction of labor is done with the aim of normal vaginal delivery. There are different methods; mechanical like intra-cervical Foley’s or pharmacological agents like misoprostol ordinoprostone. Objectives: To compare sequential use of Foley’s catheter and vaginal misoprostol in comparison with vaginal misoprostol only. Methods: Patients with period of gestation more than or equal to 41 weeks without any complications were assigned randomly according to computer generated randomization into sequential use ofintracervical Foley followed by vaginal misoprostol after 24 hours (sequential group) or vaginalmisoprostol only. Primary outcome was rate of normal vaginal delivery. Secondary outcomes were induction to delivery interval, maternal and fetal morbidity. Results: Rate of normal vaginal delivery in sequential group (n= 353) and misoprostol alone group(n= 356) was 71.6% and 53.3% (p < 0.001) but the time to delivery from induction is statistically more in sequential group (30.3 vs. 11.2 hours, p< 0.001). Maternal outcomes like postpartum hemorrhage, hyper-stimulation syndrome, chorioamnitis and neonatal outcomes like low Apgar score, meconium stained baby and stillbirth are similar in both the groups. Conclusions: The priming of cervix using intracervical Foley catheter before giving vaginalmisoprostol was beneficial in increasing the rate of normal vaginal delivery but it increased the induction to delivery interval.

Background: The objective is to compare the efficacy of vaginal Misoprostol versus transcervical Foley’s catheter and vaginal Misoprostol.Methods: A prospective study analyzing the comparative efficacy of intravaginal instillation of Misoprostol in two groups (tablet Misoprostol 50mg alone and combination of intracervical Foley’s catheter and tablet Misoprostol 50mg) carried out in the labour room on 300 subjects (150 subjects in each group), from May 2013 to November 2015.Results: The common gestational age at the time of induction was 36-40 weeks and the most common indication was premature rupture of membrane. In both the groups, most of the cases delivered within 12 hours. present results show that statistically significant number of cases delivered vaginally within 12 hours with the group using Misoprostol plus Foley’s catheter as compared to the group using Misoprostol alone. Cesarean section rate was 12.67% in Misoprostol group and 10.67% in Misoprostol plus Foley’s catheter group. Incidence of failure of induction was similar in both the groups. The incidence of babies with Apgar score less than 8/10 at 5 minutes and incidence of early neonatal death were similar in both the groups.Conclusions: Addition of intracervical Foley’s catheter to vaginal Misoprostol for induction of labor in subjects with unfavorable cervices reduces the Induction-Delivery interval without added side effects or complications to the mother and fetus.

Background: Induction of labor is a common procedure in obstetrics. It is usually performed when risk of continuing a pregnancy is more than benefit of delivery. Cervical ripening has got a close relationship with the success rate of delivery. Although there are many methods for cervical ripening, in this study Foley’s catheter and intra-cervical PGE2 gel are compared for labor induction and cervical ripening.Methods: This is a prospective randomized comparative study, undertaken in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur. 70 cases in which labor was induced with Foley’s catheter were compared to other 70 cases who were induced with PGE2 gel.Results: The commonest indication for induction in Foley’s and PGE2 gel group was pregnancy induced hypertension. There was significant increase in the post induction Bishop’s score in both the groups. The induction to delivery interval was significantly lower in Foley’s group as compared to PGE2 group (p<0.0001). Neonatal outcomes were comparable in both groups. Incidence of side effects were more in PGE2 group.Conclusions: Foley’s catheter is safe and effective method for induction of labor compared to PGE2 gel with significant improvement in Bishop’s score and shorter induction delivery interval.

Background: Induction of labor is an artificial initiation of uterine activity before the spontaneous onset of labor with the aim of achieving vaginal delivery. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods have been studied for the purpose.Methods: This randomized prospective study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Seth V. C. Gandhi & M. A. Vora Municipal General Hospital (Rajawadi Hospital), Mumbai from June 2019 to April 2020. It included pregnant patients admitted to the labor ward for induction of labor. A total 200 women were recruited and randomly allocated to the two study groups fulfilling the following selection criteria. Of these, 100 women were included in Foley's catheter group (group A) and 100 in (group B) prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) group.  Results: The subjects included mainly were of 24-28 years age group. The period of gestation was 37-42 weeks in majority of the women in both the groups. Maximum numbers of women in both groups were primigravidae, being 66% in group A and 70% in group B. Foley catheter proved to be a highly effective pre-induction ripening agent for unfavorable cervix, compared to PGE2 gel, as evident by the mean Bishop score at 12 hours (p<0.05) and by the difference in change of Bishop score over 12 hours (p<0.05) in both groups A and B. Women in both the groups had a high rate of normal vaginal delivery, rate being significantly more in Foley’s group.Conclusions: This study concludes that extra-amniotic Foley’s catheter balloon is an effective, safe, simple, low cost, reversible, non-pharmacological mechanical method of pre-induction cervical ripening.

This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of misoprostol and Foley's catheter on cervical ripening. A randomized clinical trial was carried out at Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period from March 2002 to November 2002. Ninety patients, who were chosen for induction, were selected for this study, 45 patients were randomly selected for Foley's catheter group and 45 patients for misoprostol group by using lottery. The baseline characteristics like age, parity, socioeconomic condition, gestational age; Bishop's score and indication of induction of labor were almost same in both groups. Mean duration of onset of labour was 13.60±5.0 and 15.26±3.58 hours, induction-full dilatation was 18.83±2.94 and 20.03±2.46 hours and induction-delivery interval was 20.04±2.82 and 21.18±2.32 hours in the misoprostol and Foley's catheter groups respectively. The differences were not significant. Mode of delivery and fetal outcome were also same in both group. Complications like vomiting and hyperstimulation appeared in few cases in misoprostol group but not significant. From this study, it was found that the safety and efficacy of Foley's catheter is comparable to misoprostol. In addition, Foley's catheter is free from some side effects of misoprostol, like vomiting and hyperstimulation. Therefore, Foley's catheter can be used for cervical ripening.
