dinoprostone (Cervidil): Administered thru cervix, softens cervix.
Bedrest for 2 hr after administration
both make cervix softer and thinner
Types of mechanical induction
-Nipple stimulation
-Balloon catheter
-Hydroscopic dilators
-Membrane stripping
-AROM or amniotomy
Describe nipple stimulation
Most non-invasive mechanical induction
-performed by mom
-Stroke nipple couple times /min to a pattern of 3 contractions in 10
min.
Describe Balloon Catheter
-Like a foley, but w/ 2 balloons
-Dr administers
-Insert into vagina to cervix. Need cervix to be 1cm open
-Once both balloon filled, pressure from both balloons on either side
of cervix makes the cervix thin and dilate - balloon falls out at 5-6cm
Describe Hydroscopic dilators
(like a big tampon)
-Is inserted into cervix
-Once inserted it absorbs fluid inside of cervix and vagina and
expands
-By expanding, it puts pressure on cervix and it dilates
-Falls out on its own (3-4cm)
