NCT04233008

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to compare cook catheter placement for 6 vs. 12 hours to see if there is faster time to delivery for people admitted to labor and delivery undergoing induction of labor.

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

6 hour foley

EXPERIMENTAL

The participant will have a cook catheter inserted digitally or by direct visualization with a speculum with the uterine component of the balloon inflated to maximum 60mL. The catheter will be taped to the inner thigh with gentle traction. Participants will be started on hospital-based oxytocin protocol. The cook catheter will then be removed at 6 hours, determined by randomization. At that point health care providers will manage active labor.

Device: Foley catheter length

12 hour foley
