[Contrast study of double-balloon catheter with and without oxytocin for cervical ripening].
Zhonghua Yi Xue za Zhi [Chinese medical journal] 2018 July 4
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and related issues for cervical ripening by double-balloon catheter with and without oxytocin. Methods: The prospective non-randomly control research was conducted from March 2015 to June 2017 in Yuquan Hospital of Tsinghua University. The primipara with induced labor indications and balloon placement conditions were divided into two groups. Seventy-eight cases were in the balloon with oxytocin group, in which oxytocin was used if there were no contraction 1 hour after balloon placement. Meanwhile, 220 cases were in the single balloon group. Before and after balloon placement, the changes of cervical Bishop Scores and delivery outcome were compared between the groups. Results: The effective rate of cervical ripening in the balloon with oxytocin group was higher than that in the balloon group[92.3% (72/78) vs 82.7% (182/220), P <0.05], the proportion of parturiency within 12 hours was as well[15.4% (12/78) vs 7.3% (16/220), P <0.05]. The effective rate of cervical Bishop score 4-5 points was further improved in the balloon with oxytocin group[95.7%(66/69) vs 85.1% (165/194), P <0.05]. Taken out balloon, the cervical Bishop scores (8.1±1.1) points in the balloon with oxytocin group were higher than (6.5±1.2) points in the balloon group ( P <0.05). For the maternal without parturiency in the balloon with oxytocin group, the cervical Bishop score reduced from (7.7±0.9) points to (6.6±0.6) points after removal balloon for 12 hours ( P <0.05). The cesarean section proportion for intrauterine infection in the balloon with oxytocin group was higher than that of the balloon group ( P <0.05), but the placental pathological diagnosis proportion was no significant difference ( P >0.05). In the two groups, the cesarean section rate, the first labor stage, the episiotomy rate, the postpartum hemorrhage rate, neonatal weight, the neonatal asphyxia and referral rate showed no significant differences ( P >0.05, respectively). Conclusions: The double-balloon catheter with oxytocin can further improve the efficiency of patients with cervical Bishop score 4-5 points for cervical ripening , and increase the chance of labor in 12 hours.
