Comparision of intracervical PGE2 gel and transcervical foley's catheter for preinduction cervical ripening

Introduction: Induction of labour is a common obstetric intervention, occurring in approximately 25% term pregnancies developing countries. Pharmacological and mechanical methods commonly used are prostaglandin preparations (PGE1 PGE2) various intracervical catheters (single or double balloon), respectively. Material Methods: Study was conducted Siliguri District Hospital, Siliguri, Darjeeling, west Bengal. 100 antenatal woman admitted obstetrics ward with pog more than 37 weeks were taken for study after applying inclusion exclusion criteria. 50 induced cerviprime gel foley catheter. Statistical analysis done. Results: Mean interval between treatment initiation delivery not statistically significant, tachysystole group B women, rate LSCS NVD similar both groups. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the present that Foley’s catheter {mechanical} E2 [pharmacological] effective agents preinduction cervical ripening which substantially improve bishops score increase chances successful induction. There no significant difference their efficacy, mode perinatal outcome.
