Abstract:
Second trimester pregnancy termination has been reported to be associated with 3–5 times higher maternal morbidity and mortality risks more than first trimester termination. Medical methods had been thoroughly assessed and it is considered the anchor of the safe abortion care. Howevere, there is no global agreement regarding the ideal method for induction of the second trimester abortion in a scarred uterus. The aim of this study was to achieve vaginal expulsion in an expeditious manner with less maternal complications. A total of 158 women having, a history of previous caesarean section undergoing second trimester pregnancy termination, were randomly allocated into group (1) vaginal misoprostol group (n¼79) or group (2) combined intracervical foley’s catheter plus intravenous oxyto cin infusion group (n¼79). The primary endpoint was complete fetal expulsion. Meanwhile, secondary outcomes were the rates of maternal complications, in terms of the need for surgical evacuation of retained product of conception (ERPOC), severe haemorrhage, uterine rupture, blood transfusion, cer vical laceration, diarrhoea, vomiting and fever. The registration number of this trial https://clinicaltrials. gov/ct2/show/NCT04501809. This study showed that the combined use of intracervical foley’s catheter and oxytocin is an effective, and safe alternative to vaginal misoprostol for termination of the second trimester pregnancy in women having a previous caesarean delivery.
