Abstract

Background: Various methods are employed to achieve labour induction, each with its unique advantages and considerations .This study focuses on the use of intracervical Foley's catheter, a mechanical method that has gained recognition for its effectiveness in cervical ripening and compares outcomes of induction of labour using intracervical foleys catheter and combined foleys catheter with pge2 single dose. By addressing these needs, this study aspires to contribute valuable evidence that can guide healthcare providers in making informed decisions regarding the induction of labour.


Materials and Methods: A Prospective Observational study with Study Period of Approximately One Year. Study Population of 100 antenatal patients admitted to the labor room of KCGMC and meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study, undergoing induction of labour using intracervical Foley’s catheter and a combined method of Foley’s catheter with a single dose of PGE2.


Results: There was a significant difference in the distribution of Bishop's scores recorded 12 hours post- induction, suggesting that PGE2 addition may influence Bishop's score outcomes, potentially affecting labor progression.Furthermore, while the average Bishop's score was slightly higher in the Foley's+PGE2 group,indicating enhanced cervical ripening with PGE2, the clinical significance of this difference requires further investigation. Additionally, the duration between induction and delivery was significantly shorter in the Foley's+PGE2 group, indicating more efficient induction progress with the combined method.However, the Foley's+PGE2 group showed a higher rate of augmentation requirement, suggesting the need for additional interventions with combined induction methods.


Conclusion: Overall, while PGE2 addition to Foley's catheter induction may offer certain benefits such as shorter induction delivery intervals and potentially improved cervical ripening, its impact on clinical outcomes and safety requires further investigation and consideration.
