Abstract:Objective To investigate the application effect of cervical dilatation balloon in cervical ripening and labor induction of pregnant women.Methods 140 pregnant women with single head position of having labor induction indicators and intact fetal membrane from January 2015 to June 2016 in our hospital were selected as research object,and they were divided into observation group and control group by random number table,70 cases in each group.Control group took controlled release of dinoprostone suppositories,observation group took cervical dilatation balloon.The cervical ripening effects,Bishop scores and delivery outcomes of two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate of cervical ripening of observation group was 95.71%,which was significantly higher than 77.14%of control group(P<0.01);before the using of cervical dilatation balloon,there was no statistical difference in Bishop scores between two groups(P>0.05);the Bishop scores of two groups were significantly decreased after the using of cervical dilatation balloon,and descend tendency of observation group was more significant(P<0.01);compared with the control group,the rate of natural delivery of observation group was higher,and the incidence of fetal distress,neonatal asphyxia,meconium-staining amniotic fluid was lower(P<0.05).Conclusion Cervical dilatation balloon is beneficial to cervical ripening and has significant effects,it can increase success rate of labor induction and improve delivery outcomes,which is worthy of clinical application.
