3-hour Versus 12-hour Double-balloon Catheter for Labor Induction
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Cook® double-balloon catheter: For both arms, the same double-balloon device is used. After the allocated time (3h or 12h) or spontaneous expulsion, active labor management is initiated, including early amniotomy and/or oxytocin administration
Study summary
This study aims to demonstrate that a 3-hour ultra-short cervical ripening protocol using a double-balloon catheter significantly reduces the induction-to-birth interval by at least 6 hours compared to the standard 12-hour protocol. The study evaluates whether this reduction can be achieved without increasing cesarean section rates or maternal-fetal risks
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- induction-to-birth interval reduction — balloon insertion and birth of the child
Time (in hours) between the effective initiation of labor induction (balloon insertion) and the birth of the child
