Clinical Trial Summary

A randomised controlled trial comparing cervical ripening using foley catheter as in- or outpatient setting.


Description:

The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of outpatient versus inpatient Foley catheter cervical ripening and patients' satisfaction. Sixty low-risk women were randomized to outpatient and inpatient management of intracervical Foley catheter digital insertion. The outpatient group was provided with verbal and written 24-hours contact information and instructions. Both groups were reassessed the next morning unless labor had begun or the catheter had dropped off.
