Synopsis Induction of labor for multiparous women having unfavorable cervix is unknown. This study aimed to determine whether induction of labor using oxytocin and Cervical Ripening Balloon, compared with sequential use increases the likelihood of delivery in multiparas’ women. This week’s “MED FACT” discusses a clinical trial from American Journal Of Obstetrics & Gynecology, “Cervical ripening balloon with and without oxytocin in multiparas: a randomized controlled trial”. Authors: Alison M. Bauer, Alison M. Bauer, Alison M.
Bauer, Justin R. Lappen, Kimberly S. Gecsi, David N. Hackney Key Takeaways: Simultaneous use of cervical ripening balloon and oxytocin shows increased frequency of delivery in multiparas’ women. Objective: To determine whether induction of labor using oxytocin and Cervical Ripening Balloon, compared with sequential use increases the likelihood of delivery in…
