Foley Labor Induction Trial at Term and in PROM

June 9, 2017 updated by: Angela Bianco, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

A Randomized Trial of Foley Bulb Induction With and Without Simultaneous Use of Oxytocin

This study is considering current standard oxytocin dosing regimen in combination with Foley bulb for cervical ripening is associated with improved outcomes including greater percentage of women delivered within or less than 24 hours. The investigators will also assess other maternal and neonatal outcomes including risk of infection (i.e. chorioamnionitis), bleeding, uterine atony, cesarean delivery and use of regional analgesia.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the 2 arms of the study: use of oxytocin or no oxytocin while the Foley bulb is in place. As part of standard of care for inductions, Foley bulbs will be placed for all participants. Study participants who are randomly assigned to the use of oxytocin will receive oxytocin at the time the Foley bulb is placed. Study participants randomly assigned to no oxytocin will receive the oxytocin once the Foley bulb is removed.

After delivery, information will be collected from participant's chart on the outcome of pregnancy such as gestational age at delivery, type of delivery (vaginal or cesarean section), and baby's outcome (such as birth weight, APGAR scores, and any complications).

Detailed Description

Currently there is a paucity of literature to determine the efficacy of use of Pitocin during Foley placement, a single study has been published which suggests that the induction to delivery time is shortened in multiparas, but not in nulliparas. This study was not specifically powered to assess nulliparas as well, without increased risk.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
induction time to delivery
Time Frame: Time from induction to delivery, average 12-28 hours
The time from induction to delivery will be starting from the time the first induction agent is used on the patient until the official time of birth of the neonate.
Time from induction to delivery, average 12-28 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mode of delivery
Time Frame: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
The mode of delivery is ascertained from the delivery summary as either spontaneous vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, vacuum assisted vaginal delivery, or forcep assisted vaginal delivery.
average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
estimated blood loss
Time Frame: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
uterine atony
Time Frame: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
uterine atony is assessed by both provider report and/or the use of uterotonics as indicated by the chart.
average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
chorioamnionitis
Time Frame: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
Chorioamnionitis is ascertained from provider report as fever with either maternal/fetal tachycardia, fundal tenderness, or foul smelling fluid while the patient is in labor.
average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
neonatal birthweight
Time Frame: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth
