“…Worldwide the transcervical balloon catheter is used as a mechanical method for cervical ripening. 10 Knowledge on the safety of such a policy is crucial, especially the occurrence of adverse events between the moment of insertion and expulsion of the balloon catheter, as women in this period are not under strict hospital monitoring. Two previous reviews show that the balloon catheter is an effective method for cervical ripening as compared with pharmacologic induction with prostaglandins.…”

“…[7][8][9] Outpatient management for cervical ripening in low-risk pregnant women has therefore been proposed. 10 Knowledge on the safety of such a policy is crucial, especially the occurrence of adverse events between the moment of insertion and expulsion of the balloon catheter, as women in this period are not under strict hospital monitoring. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the patient safety of labour induction with a transcervical balloon catheter between introduction and expulsion of the balloon, and to thereby determine the risk of adverse events during the period women would go home in an outpatient setting.…”

Catheters are commonly used in hospital treatment, but most of the medical materials used in the production of catheters are hydrophobic, with high surface friction and weak antibacterial properties, so a large amount of money is spent on the treatment of catheter-related urinary tract infections worldwide every year. To improve the comfort of patients, weaken the friction and damage between urinary catheters and urethra, and reduce economic burden, coating the urethral catheter surface is a good strategy. Because of the softness, lubricity and functional network structure (load or graft different substances) of hydrogel, it has a wide range of applications for medical devices. In recent years, the studies of hydrogel coatings in urethral catheters have received more and more attention. This review mainly summarized the research progress of hydrogel coating in recent years, including its function and the method of guiding the grafting of hydrogel to the substrate, and the prospects in the future.

Background Induction of labor is increasing worldwide, and some countries have started to introduce outpatient induction in low‐risk women. Objectives To assess current knowledge concerning the safety, efficacy, women's experience, and economic costs of outpatient induction compared with inpatient induction. Search strategy Multiple databases were last searched on October 19, 2021. Studies were selected according to our pre‐specified inclusion, selection, and exclusion criteria. Selection criteria PICO; P—women with low‐risk pregnancy planned for induction of labor. I—Outpatient induction C—Inpatient induction O—Outcomes according to the core outcome set for induction of labor (COSIOL). Data collection and analysis Pooled in meta‐analyses. The certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE system. Main results The 20 included studies, including 7956 women, showed an overall low incidence of adverse events and indicated comparable results for inpatient and outpatient induction, but the studies were underpowered for safety‐related outcomes. Women's experiences of outpatient induction were mostly positive. Based on three studies, the economic costs consequence is inconclusive. Conclusions Due to early randomization, heterogenic study design, and underpowered studies regarding safety outcome, the certainty of evidence is very low. It is uncertain whether outpatient induction affects the risk for neonatal and maternal complications.

Foley catheter induction of labor as an outpatient procedure

Abstract: Induction of labor by Foley catheter appears suitable for outpatients, and resulted in no differences in cesarean delivery or infection rates compared with in-patients. Most women were satisfied with the outpatient induction.
