Abstract:

Balloon catheter was used for pre-induction cervical priming and in order to enhance induction of labor in 51 patients. This procedure was found to be a safe and effective adjunct to induction of labor in patients with unripe cervices (mean Bishop score 3.4) with induction of labor to delivery time of 6.5 h.
