E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Time between first intervention (Balloon Application or Propess administration) and birth in treatment arm 1 and 2. |
Zeitraum zwischen Erstintervention (Ballon-Applikation oder Propess-Erstgabe) und Geburt in Therapiearm 1 und 2. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1.Time interval from first treatment (balloon application/first Propess application) to cervical dilating progress of labor;2.Time interval from first treatment (balloon application/first Propess application) to continous labor (>6contractions/hour);3.Percentage of patients in arm 1 and 2,who achieve vaginal or vaginal-operative delivery;4.Percentage of patients in arm 1 and 2,who underwent caesarean section after failed induction of labor.Failed induction of labor is defined as not-achieving vaginal delivery after balloon application+2xPropess application in arm 1 and 3xPropess application in arm 2;5.Patient satisfaction with treatment in arm 1 and 2;6.Neonatal Parameters:Fetal and/or neonatal morbidity and/or mortality (pH-levels,Base Exsess,APGAR,fetal birth weight,admission to ICU,days at ICU);7.Maternal Parameters:Signs of infection or inflammation (temp>38,5°, WBC>25%+CRP-elevation >25%compared to hospital admission), cervical tear,vaginal tear, episoiotomy), epidural anaesthesia |
1.Zeitraum bis zum Erreichen eines muttermundswirksamen Geburtsfortschritts nach Zervixreifung in Therapiearm 1 im Vergleich zu Arm 2. 2.Zeitraum bis zum Einsetzen regelmäßiger Wehentätigkeit 3.Anzahl der Patientinnen in Therapiearm 1 und 2,die eine vaginale oder vaginal-operative Entbindung erreichen.4.Anzahl der Patientinnen in Therapiearm 1 und 2,die nach frustraner Einleitung eine primäre Sectio erhalten.Eine frustrane Einleitung wird als Nichterreichen einer Spontangeburt nach Ballon-Applikation + 2x Propessapplikation (Arm 1) bzw.3x Propessapplikation (Arm 2) definiert.5.Patientinnenzufriedenheit 6.Kindliche Parameter:Fetale, neonatale Morbidität oder Mortalität (pH-Werte, Base Exsess, APGAR, Geburtsgewicht, Aufnahme bzw. Aufenhaltsdauer Intensivstation/Frühgeburtenstation)7.Mütterliche Parameter:Infektionszeichen (Temperatur >38,5°, Leukoanstieg >25 % zum Ausgangswert, CRP-Anstieg > 25 % zum Ausgangswert), Häufigkeit von Zervixrissen, Scheidenrissen+Episoiotomien), PDA ja/nein |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1. Due to the use of a cook balloon catheter an effective birth cervix progress (defined as Bishop score ≥ 9 and / or cervical dilatation ≥ 3 cm) patients with unripe cervix (Bishop score ≤ 6) can be performed.
2. The time intervall between the first intervention and the birth is shorter for inducing labor with balloon application than first propess application.
3. The proportion of patients who receive after failed induction of labor a caesarean is lower than balloon induction |
1. Durch den Einsatz eines Cook Ballonkatheters kann eine muttermundswirksamer Geburtsfortschritt (definiert als Bishop Score ≥ 9 und/oder Muttermundsweite ≥ 3 cm) bei Patientinnen mit unreifer Cervix (Bishop-Score ≤ 6) durchgeführt werden.
2. Der Zeitraum zwischen Erstintervention und Geburt ist kürzer bei Geburtseinleitung mittels Ballon-Applikation als bei Propess-Erstgabe.
3. Der Anteil der Patientinnen die nach "frustraner Einleitung" einen Kaiserschnitt erhalten ist bei Ballon-Einleitung geringer |
