Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized trial of preinduction cervical ripening: dinoprostone vaginal insert versus double-balloon catheter.
We sought to compare the efficacy of a double-balloon transcervical catheter to that of a prostaglandin (PG) vaginal insert among women undergoing labor induction. ⋯ The use of a double-balloon catheter for cervical ripening is associated with a higher rate of vaginal birth within 24 hours compared with a PGE2 vaginal insert.
