Foley Catheter for Induction of Labor at Term: An Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aimed to determine the optimal Foley catheter balloon volume (30-mL vs. 80-mL) and the maximum time for cervical ripening (12 hours vs. 24 hours) to improve vaginal delivery rate within 24 hours of induction. We conducted an open-label, randomized controlled trial in a teaching hospital i...

Zusammenfassung:	This study aimed to determine the optimal Foley catheter balloon volume (30-mL vs. 80-mL) and the maximum time for cervical ripening (12 hours vs. 24 hours) to improve vaginal delivery rate within 24 hours of induction. We conducted an open-label, randomized controlled trial in a teaching hospital in China.
