Abstract

The efficacy of cervical ripening with two Foley catheter volumes, 30mL and 80mL, is compared in a study. Results show that ripening of the unfavorable cervix in primiparous women with a Foley catheter balloon inflated with 80mL of sterile saline resulted in more dilation, faster labor, and a decreased need for oxytocin than with a balloon inflated with a 30mL of the solution.

Abstract

Higher than normal levels of the copper zinc superoxide dismutase gene in fetuses may protect them from developing abnormally as a result of diabetes in their mothers. Copper zinc superoxide dismutase is an enzyme that may rid the body of oxygen free radicals, which are overproduced in connection with diabetes mellitus and may cause fetuses to form abnormally. Researchers induced diabetes in mice that were pregnant with embryos either with the human copper zinc superoxide dismutase gene or without it. Mouse embryos with the copper zinc superoxide dismutase gene did not experience growth reductions, had a low rate of malformation and a low rate of fetal death, whereas embryos without the gene were more likely to be small, malformed, or to die before the end of pregnancy.

Abstract

: ObjectivesRipening of the cervix with a Foley catheter commonly results in cervical dilatation without contractions. We examined the outcome of labour in women who underwent induction of labour using a Foley catheter, followed by either 1. early amniotomy, or 2. augmentation of labour by oxytocin and late amniotomy: DesignProspective randomised clinical trial: SettingLabour and delivery ward of a university teaching hospital: ParticipantsPregnant women ≥38 weeks of a singleton gestation, who had had no prior caesarean section: MethodsAll women underwent cervical ripening using a Foley catheter. Following removal of the catheter, women were randomly assigned to either early (n = 80) or late amniotomy (n = 88).Main outcome measures Comparison of mode of delivery and duration of labour between the two groups: ResultsThe rate of caesarean section was significantly higher in the early amniotomy group compared with the late amniotomy group (25% vs 7.9%; relative risk 1.74; 95% CI 1.3 – 2.34). The increase in caesarean section rate was due primarily to dystocia (15% vs 3.3%; relative risk 1.8; 95% CI 1.32 – 2.45). When excluding caesarean deliveries, no significant difference was found in duration of labour between the groups (8.3 hours (3.8) vs 7.7 hours (2.9)): ConclusionsIn women who undergo cervical ripening with a Foley catheter, augmentation of labour by oxytocin followed by amniotomy during active labour results in a lower rate of caesarean delivery for dystocia [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
