Official title
The RIPE Study: Ripening Interventions: Prostaglandins vs EASI Catheter
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of misoprostol vs extra amniotic saline infusion via a catheter (EASI) for cervical ripening on the proportion of patients delivered by cesarean section for fetal intolerance of labor versus vaginal delivery. The primary hypothesis is that patients undergoing cervical ripening with EASI catheter are less likely to undergo cesarean section for fetal intolerance of labor when compared to women who receive misoprostol.
