Article Synopsis
- Induction of labor after a previous cesarean poses high risks, and using a Foley balloon for mechanical ripening is preferred over prostaglandins due to lower risk of complications like uterine rupture.
- This study aims to assess the effects of tugging the Foley balloon every three hours on the time from induction to delivery and overall patient satisfaction compared to standard care without tugging.
- Conducted as a randomized controlled trial in Malaysia from April 2023 to March 2024, 126 participants were recruited, and outcomes measured included the time interval from balloon insertion to delivery and participants' satisfaction, with expectations of a significant reduction in delivery time and improvement in satisfaction scores.

Objective: To examine whether professional guidance promoting a policy of restrictive blood transfusion is being followed.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of post-delivery transfusion data from 17 maternity units in the UK (1988-2000) was undertaken. Additionally, an audit was performed of women receiving one or two units of red cells 6-24 hours after delivery at three centers in the UK and USA in 2013-2016.
