Abstract:
:The use of an extraamniotic catheter balloon, inflated above the internal cervical os, has been advocated as a nonpharmacological, mechanical method of cervical ripening before induction of labor. Additional measures may include applying traction on the catheter, or the infusion of normal saline (1 ml/min) via the catheter's port into the extraamniotic space. The results of catheter balloon cervical ripening are reviewed from 13 published reports and a departmental series of 190 pregnancies with unfavorable cervix, encompassing nearly 1000 patients. A mean change in cervical score of at least 3 points, was noted in most studies after balloon expulsion or removal. The present series and other studies suggest that oxytocin use for induction and/or augmentation of labor is increased after balloon ripening, compared with its use in spontaneous labor or after cervical ripening by prostaglandins. In 11 studies, catheter balloon ripening was compared with cervical ripening by other mechanical, or pharmacological (i.e., oxytocin or prostaglandins) methods. Of these, eight were prospective and randomized-controlled and three were case-controlled studies. It is suggested that ripening efficacy by catheter balloon is similar, or better, than other methods; but there is no significant difference in the mode of delivery or perinatal outcome. This review also suggests that cervical ripening with extraamniotic catheter balloon has the advantages of simplicity, low cost, reversibility, and lack of systemic or serious side effects.
