Comparative Study of Extraamniotic Saline Infusion with Transcervical Foleys Catheter and Intracervical PGE2 Gel in Cervical
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Success of induction depends on the cervical favorability, which is quantified in points by Modified Bishop Score. Aim: This study compared the efficacy and safety of Extraamniotic Saline Instillation with Transcervical Foley Catheter and Vaginal PGE2 for improving Bishop score in term pregnant patients. Materials and Methods: It is a prospective and comparative study on 200 patients with various indications for induction with unfavorable cervix (Bishop score <6), satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria, are the subjects of the study. All patients undergone vaginal examination, the patients were divided randomly into two groups. Group A: 100 Cases, in whom, PGE2 gel was instilled intracervically for preinduction cervical ripening. Group B: 100 Cases, in whom, extramniotic saline infusion was done along with transcervical Foley catheter. Results: The mean Bishop Score at Zero hour of both the groups was comparable 3.92±1.49 in Group A and 3.5±1.48 in Group B. Success of cervical ripening defined as improvement in Bishop score > 4 points at the end of 24hours. Cervical ripening failure was defined as a increase in Bishop’s score < 4 points following 24 hours. There were 78% with successful ripening in Group A and 94% in Group B. The difference in the success rates among the two groups is significant (p<0.05). 25% in Group A and 37% in Group B had an instillation delivery interval between 24 & 48 hours. There is no significant difference in instillation delivery interval among the two groups. 83% in Group B and 58% in Group A had vaginal delivery. 43% in Group A and 16% in Group B had EMLSCS. Uterine tachysystole was seen 4% patients in Group A and no patient in Group B had tachysystole. There was no significant difference in the APGAR at 1min and 5mins in both the groups. 18% in Group A and 16% in Group B had NICU admissions. The indications for admissions were APGAR at 5min <7, Meconium stained liquor and respiratory distress. Conclusions: Extraamniotic saline Instillation with Transcervical Foley Catheter is better alternative to PGE2 in term higher success rate in improvement in Bishop score, shorter ripening time, fewer complications like uterine tachysystole.
