Abstract
This is the first randomized trial to compare concurrent Foley bulb/oxytocin vs oxytocin alone in nulliparous patients undergoing induction of labor for PROM. We found no difference in time from induction to delivery in patients induced with concurrent Foley bulb/oxytocin vs oxytocin alone. In nulliparous patients with PROM, this study suggests that addition of a Foley bulb to oxytocin does not decrease the time from induction start to delivery.
