The Obstetric Cook Double Balloon Catheter in Combination With Oral Misoprostol for Induction of Labor: A Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial

The current study is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial of Obstetric Cook
Catheter combined with oral misoprostol for induction of labor in pregnant patients. The
primary outcome to be studied is vaginal delivery rate for the Obstetric Cook Catheter in
combination with oral placebo and the Obstetric Cook Catheter in combination with oral
misoprostol. Secondary outcomes to be studied include the safety of the method, composite
maternal morbidity and composite neonatal morbidity.

The hypothesis is that there is a higher vaginal delivery rate in the patient whom receive
both the Obstetric Cook Catheter and the oral misoprostol.
