A Randomized Comparison of Transcervical Foley Bulb With Vaginal Misoprostol to Vaginal Misoprostol Alone for Induction of Labor

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pregnancy

In brief

A randomized, prospective trial will be offered to women admitted to the Roosevelt Hospital labor floor for labor induction. The hypothesis is that the simultaneous use of a foley bulb together with vaginal misoprostol will result in shorter induction to delivery time compared with vaginal misoprostol alone
