Actual (reported)As mentioned above, previous studies have shown variable results and the best among these two is still in debate, so there must be re-evaluation of results on this topic. The rationale of this study is to compare the efficacy (in terms of complete evacuation) of PGE1 versus cervical folleys in termination of pregnancy. This study not only will lead to the decision regarding selection of appropriate method with less comorbidities but also add in the literature regarding the women health improvement that is a matter of concern in 21st century. Then based on the results of my study, these particular patients can be provided with better way of second trimester termination of pregnancy in order to reduce the complications of the incomplete miscarriage as well as morbidity and mortality of these patients

Actual (reported)Percentage of efficacy
It refers to the ability of PGE1 or cervical Foleys to achieve complete abortion within 48 hours during the second trimester of fetal demise
48 hours
Group A will receive 200µg orally five doses six hours apart. If the patient did not abort after the first course, the same regimen will be repeated 24 hours after the start of the first dose of misoprostol
Group B will receive cervical foleys. Foley's catheter group will be put in lithotomy position in examination room, vulva vagina will be cleaned with pyodine and sterile Sim's speculum will be introduced in the vagina, holding anterior cervical lip with sponge holding forceps and with the help of another sponge holding forceps a Foleys catheter no 14 Fr will be passed in the cervix into the extra amniotic space and balloon will be inflated with 30ml saline. A urine bag will be filled with 500ml saline will be attached to the catheter for traction. As soon as the catheter will be expelled reassessment of the dilatation of the cervix will be done and if needed infusion oxytocin will be started
