Meanings of foley catheter in English

At present, valid comparisons between oral misoprostol and Foley catheter are lacking.

Results showed that the Foley catheter might not be effective for FSP.

We did a trial to directly compare oral misoprostol with Foley catheter alone.

Results: Fifty-six women were allocated to Foley catheter, 64 to vaginal misoprostol tablets.

This randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled study involved 20 incontinent geriatric patients; all had indwelling Foley catheters.

Objectives: To assess effectiveness and safety of Foley catheter versus vaginal misoprostol for term induction of labor.

Foley catheter bladder decompression was routinely employed.

Results: We analyzed 226 women: 107 received a Foley catheter and 119 inserts.

Meta-analysis confirmed a comparable caesarean section rate, and showed fewer cases of hyperstimulation when a Foley catheter was used.

The Foley catheter was removed 10.7 days after the operation.

A Foley catheter was inserted for 2 weeks and removed after bladder integrity was confirmed with a retrograde cystogram.

Therefore, we propose a randomised controlled trial comparing Foley catheter to oral misoprostol in order to assess safety and cost-effectiveness.

Foley catheters were left in place in all patients for an average of 4.85 days.

Meta-analysis showed no difference in cesarean delivery rate and reduced vaginal instrumental deliveries and hyperstimulation in the Foley catheter group.

The Foley catheter size ranged from 16F to 22F.

Objective: We compared Foley catheter alone to different misoprostol dosages and administration routes, and the combination of Foley catheter with misoprostol.
