Abstract :

Background : The success of induction of labor depends on the cervical status at the time of induction.Objective: Is

to compare the efficacy of extra amniotic Foley’s catheter and intracervical PGE2 gel in cervical ripening for the successful induction of labor, maternal and fetal outcome. Study design: Randomized prospective study conducted in KIMS hospital between Jan
2012 to June 2013. 80 pregnant women attended labour ward for induction of labor are included. 40 patients received Dinoprostone gel and 40
patients received intracervical extra amniotic foley’s catheter.Results: Both groups were comparable with respect to maternal age, parity, gestational age, indication for induction and initial bishop score. Both groups showed significant change in Bishop score after 12hours 7.21 and
7.81 for PGE2 gel and Foley’s catheter respectively. There was no significant difference in the side effects between two groups. Cesarean sections were performed in 32.5 % in PGE2 group and 27.5 % in Foley’s catheter group. The induction delivery interval was 16.96 ± 7 hrs in PGE2
group and 20.03 ±7.96 hrs in Foley’s catheter group. APGAR score, birth weight and NICU admissions showed no differences between the two
groups. Conclusion: The present study shows that both PGE2 gel and Foley’s catheter are equally effective in preinduction cervical ripening.
