Randomized Controlled Trial: Induction of Labour of Obese Women With Dinoprostone or Single Balloon Catheter
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of single balloon foley catheters to dinoprostone for the induction of labour of obese women. The investigators suspect that women assigned to the foley group will have a shorter induction to delivery time than women in the dinoprostone group.
