ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of induction of labor with Foley catheter in patients with full term pregnancy.Material and Methods: Uncontrolled clinical trial in patients carried out in patients with term pregnancy who attended the Toco-surgery service of a second-level care hospital in Sonora, Mexico, between January and August 2017. To procedure: insufflating the balloon with 30-40cc of solution and exerting constant and gentle traction. The induction start time was taken and constant monitoring of the binomial was maintained. Bishop's scale was re-evaluated at 6 o'clock, with induction considered effective, obtaining a score on the modified Bishop's scale ≥6. The route of termination of pregnancy was also valued.
Results: 36 patients were studied; The efficacy of induction with Foley catheter was reported in 34 of 36 patients (94%). For parity, 13/26 women were primigravite. Induction with Foley catheter was successful in 34 of 36 patients, with a route of termination of pregnancy through delivery in 24/36 and cesarean section in 12/36 women. Of the total number of participants, 10 of 36 had a previous caesarean section, culminating 6/10 per delivery and 4/10 by caesarean section.
Conclusions: The induction of labor with Foley catheter is effective and is a good alternative when there is a history of a previous caesarean section.
