Adjuvant Oxytocin for Preinduction Ripening With a Foley catheter--a Clinical Trial

NCT00468520 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 200

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The transcervical Foley catheter (TFC) is a proven and effective mode of cervical ripening. It is common practice to use TFC with simultaneous low-dose oxytocin under the assumption that the combination results in a more successful labor induction. Scientific validation of this practice is lacking. We seek to determine if the addition of oxytocin to TFC improves induction success.
