Efficacy and Patient Satisfaction with Outpatient Prostaglandin E2versus Foley Catheter for Cervical Ripening—A Randomized Trial

Introduction: an important factor in the success of labour induction is the presence of a ripe cervix. The safety and efficacy of outpatient prostaglandin E2(PGE2) administered intracervically compared to extra-amniotic cervical Foley catheter placement to ripen the cervix were studied. Patient satisfaction and overall cost with both methods were reported for the first time.
