Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • vaginal delivery within 24 hours

    the time from applying catheter to delivery

    24 hours

  • ripening success

    Calculated soon after removal or spontaneous expulsion of catheters above 6 or increasing 2 point above baseline bishop score

    12 hours

  • pain score

    The pain score during ripening phase which a visual analog scale is completed by the study population to assess the pain score during the entire ripening periods. The pain scores were assessed using the visual analog scale (where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain).

    36 hours

Study Arms (3)

Double Foley Catheter

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients allocated to this arm were randomly and did not differ from the Single Foley Catheter or Cook Balloon arm regard to patients' demographic features and characteristics. The connected FCs were inserted into the cervix using long forceps and advanced to the internal os level. One of the Foley balloons was inflated with 80 ml of saline, and the other FC, now the cervicovaginal balloon, was pulled out with mild traction until the balloon could be visualized and inflated with 20 ml of saline. The vaginal speculum was removed, and the cervicovaginal balloon was inflated further to a total of 80 ml of saline. Both catheters were taped to the inner aspect of the thigh without tension

Single Foley Catheter

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients allocated to this arm were randomly and did not differ from the Double Foley Catheter or Cook Balloon arm regard to patients' demographic features and characteristics. a 16-F FC was inserted into the cervix using long forceps. Then, the balloon was inflated with 80 ml of saline using a standard 20 ml syringe. The catheter was then pulled out until the balloon covered the internal os. The speculum was removed, and the catheter was fixed under slight tension to the inner aspect of the thigh

Cook Balloon

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients allocated to this arm were randomly and did not differ from the Double Foley Catheter or Single Foley Catheter arm regard to patients' demographic features and characteristics. Cook cervical ripening group, the device was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions, and each balloon was inflated with 80 ml saline. The catheter was taped to the inner aspect of the thigh without tension.
