Cervical Ripening Balloons for Same-Day Cervical Prep
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Cervical Ripening Balloon: 30 milliliter Foley balloon
Osmotic Dilators: Dilapan-S
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a cervical ripening balloon (Foley balloon) works to prepare the cervix before same-day outpatient dilation and evacuation (D\&E). The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is cervical preparation with cervical ripening balloon for same-day outpatient D\&E non-inferior to cervical preparation with osmotic dilators?
* How feasible and safe is cervical preparation with cervical ripening balloon for same-day outpatient D\&E?
* How acceptable is cervical preparation with cervical ripening balloon for same-day outpatient D\&E?
Participants will:
* Have cervical preparation with cervical ripening balloon (experimental group) or osmotic dilators (usual care group)
* Complete two surveys, one about the cervical preparation and one about the D\&E procedure
Eligibility
