Official title
Outpatient Labor Induction With the Transcervical Foley Balloon: A Randomized Trial Comparing Outpatient Immediate Removal Foley Versus Standard Inpatient Foley Induction
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study represents the first randomized trial comparing traditional inpatient induction with a transcervical foley catheter versus outpatient induction with immediate removal of a transcervical foley catheter. The immediate removal technique allows the induction process to begin in the hospital setting, but allows the patient to go home without a foreign body in situ. The investigators hypothesize the outpatient group will spend less time hospitalized prior to discharge. Additionally, the investigators will explore the vaginal delivery rates and maternal/neonatal safety profiles between groups.
