Termination of mid-trimester pregnancies: misoprostol versus concurrent weighted Foley catheter and misoprostol

Name	World Continuing Education Alliance
Activity Title	Termination of mid-trimester pregnancies: misoprostol versus concurrent weighted Foley catheter and misoprostol
Details	The universal prenatal screening programs have lead to an increase in the diagnosis of congenital malformations with subsequent gradual increase in second trimester termination of pregnancy (TOP). Termination in the second trimester is more risky than during the first trimester. Several studies have described the Foley’s catheter as an effective method in ripening the cervix. Obed and Adewole (1994). This study was designed to investigate whether the insertion of a weighted fluid filled trans-cervical Foley’s catheter would further improve the effectiveness of 400 µg vaginal misoprostol in terminating mid trimester pregnancies.
