Adjunctive membrane sweeping in Foley catheter induction of labor after one previous cesarean delivery: A randomized trial.

Cesarean delivery rates were 22/32 (69%) versus19/31 (61%) (relative risk 1.12, 95% confidence interval 0.78-1.62; I P i = 0.603) and insertion-to-catheter removal intervals, median (interquartile range), were 15 (6.3-21.0) versus19 (11.0-24.0) hours ( I P i = 0.065) for membrane sweeping with Foley catheter versus Foley catheter arm, respectively. In conclusion, adjunctive membrane sweeping just before Foley catheter labor induction in term women with one previous cesarean and unfavorable cervixes did not shorten induction-to-delivery interval or increase maternal satisfaction compared with Foley catheter alone.
