Labor induction in women with an unfavorable Bishop score: randomized controlled trail of intrauterine Foley catheter with concurrent oxytocin infusion versus Foley catheter with extra-amniotic saline infusion with concurrent oxytocin infusion

The relationship between the addition of extra-amniotic saline infusion (EASI) and the efficacy of the Foley catheter in women undergoing cervical ripening and induction of labor with an unfavorable cervical examination is discussed. EASI is unable to improve the efficacy of cervical ripening and induction of labor with a Foley catheter and concurrent oxytocin infusion.
