“…A recent randomized controlled trial comparing the Foley catheter with concurrent oxytocin versus oxytocin alone in women with PROM reported that cervical ripening with the Foley catheter in addition to oxytocin did not shorten the time to delivery but significantly increased rates of chorioamnionitis compared with oxytocin alone (8 vs. 0%) . 45 The number of vaginal examinations was similar between groups. The rate of fetal scalp electrode use was higher in the Foley catheter group versus the oxytocin group; however, this was not related to the higher rates of chorioamnionitis with the Foley catheter.…”

“…The rate of fetal scalp electrode use was higher in the Foley catheter group versus the oxytocin group; however, this was not related to the higher rates of chorioamnionitis with the Foley catheter. Due to the increased risk of infection with prostaglandins and mechanical methods, 43 44 45 the use of oxytocin without cervical ripening is recommended for this patient .…”

Cervical ripening is often the first component of labor induction and is used to facilitate the softening and thinning of the cervix in preparation for labor. Common methods used for cervical ripening include both mechanical (e.g., Foley or Cook catheters) and pharmacologic (e.g., prostaglandins) methods. The choice of method(s) for ripening should take into account the patient's medical and obstetric history, clinical characteristics, and risk of adverse effects if uterine tachysystole were to occur. In this narrative review, we highlight the differences between the prostaglandins dinoprostone and misoprostol with respect to pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and potential safety concerns. Practical guidance on choosing an appropriate prostaglandin agent for cervical ripening and labor induction is provided via the use of clinical vignettes. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of each preparation allows clinicians to individualize treatment, depending on the indications for induction and unique characteristics of each patient.

“…Different methods of OT infusion may result in discrepancies in labor induction. In patients with prelabor rupture of membranes, a Foley catheter with OT does not shorten the time to delivery compared with OT alone but may contribute to the increase in the chance of intraamniotic infection [56]. Pulsatile administration can prominently reduce the dose of OT required to induce labor [55].…”

Oxytocin and Health

Oxytocin, an important neuropeptide, exerts a wide influence on the central nervous system and the peripheral tissues. In the central nervous system, the oxytocin gene expression is mainly shown to be present in neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei. Oxytocin gene also transcribes in the peripheral tissues such as uterus, placenta, and amnion. Oxytocin receptors can be founded in many tissues in humans, like the uterine, ovary, testis, kidney, and so on. And just in the same tissue, due to the variation of physiology factors, the amount of oxytocin changes a lot. Oxytocin secretion is closely linked with pregnancy advancing. During labor, the contractions of uterine smooth muscles and oxytocin secretion are inseparable. Moreover, oxytocin is also responsible for stimulating milk ejection after parturition. Oxytocin is associated with many diseases. Poor regulation of oxytocin may cause postpartum depression and infantile autism. In terms of physiology, fatal heart failure and gestational hypertension are concerned with oxytocin level. In this chapter, we will discuss the oxytocin in pregnancy as well as its clinical applications.

“…Die Nutzung von Ballonkathetern oder Dilatatoren kann aktuell nicht uneingeschränkt empfohlen werden. Die Studienlage bezüglich einer erhöhten Infektionsrate ist heterogen, wobei manche Autoren einen Zusammenhang zeigen konnten [28], andere jedoch nicht [29] [4,37]. Eine wiederholte Gabe ist mit einem geringeren Geburtsgewicht und kleinerem Kopfumfang assoziiert [4].…”
