ESPINOZA-HERRERA, Daniel Aarón; HERNANDEZ-DELGADO, Carlos Antonio y VALLE-LEAL, Jaime Guadalupe. Foley catheter: An effective alternative for induction of labor. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2019, vol.87, n.3, pp.190-195. Epub 30-Abr-2021. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v87i3.2541.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the effectiveness of induction of labor with Foley catheter in patients with full term pregnancy.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
uncontrolled clinical trial in patients carried out in patients with term pregnancy who attended the Toco-surgery service of a second-level care hospital in Sonora, Mexico, between January and August 2017. To procedure: insufflating the balloon with 30-40cc of solution and exerting constant and gentle traction. The induction start time was taken and constant monitoring of the binomial was maintained. Bishop's scale was re-evaluated at 6 o'clock, with induction considered effective, obtaining a score on the modified Bishop's scale ≥6. The route of termination of pregnancy was also valued.
RESULTS:
36 patients were studied; The efficacy of induction with Foley catheter was reported in 34 of 36 patients (94%). For parity, 13/26 women were primigravite. Induction with Foley catheter was successful in 34 of 36 patients, with a route of termination of pregnancy through delivery in 24/36 and cesarean section in 12/36 women. Of the total number of participants, 10 of 36 had a previous caesarean section, culminating 6/10 per delivery and 4/10 by caesarean section.
CONCLUSIONS:
The induction of labor with Foley catheter is effective and is a good alternative when there is a history of a previous caesarean section.
