Preterm breech birth risks head entrapment. Three side-by-side Foley balloons as previously described for labour induction/augmentation may prevent breech expulsion until adequate cervical dilation. We present an illustrative case.

Maternal and perinatal outcomes after implementation of a more active management in late- and postterm pregnancies in Sweden: A population-based cohort study.
PLoS Med
January 2025
Region Västra Götaland, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: The risk of perinatal death and severe neonatal morbidity increases gradually after 41 weeks of pregnancy. We evaluated maternal and perinatal outcomes after a national shift from expectancy and induction at 42+0 weeks to a more active management of late-term pregnancies in Sweden offering induction from 41+0 weeks or an individual plan aiming at birth or active labour no later than 42+0 weeks.
Methods And Findings: Women with a singleton pregnancy lasting 41+0 weeks or more with a fetus in cephalic presentation (N = 150,370) were included in a nationwide, register-based cohort study.
Multiple Small Foley Balloons for Large Cardiac or Vascular Lacerations.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Iwate Prefectural Central Hospital, Morioka, Iwate, Japan.
Foley balloons have been used to secure emergency hemostasis for cardiac or vascular injuries since the 1960s. However, using a single large balloon may have drawbacks, such as insufficient hemostasis and blood flow impairment. We have encountered 3 major intraoperative laceration cases since 2011.

Amniotic Fluid Embolism After Cervical Ripening.
Cureus
December 2024
Obstetrics, Orlando Regional Medical Center, Orlando, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but severe complication during childbirth that can lead to rapid failure of multiple organ systems and significant maternal mortality.
- A case study involving a 31-year-old woman induced for labor revealed AFE's unpredictability, as she developed sudden fetal distress and hypoxia, leading to an emergency cesarean delivery.
- Despite the high mortality associated with AFE, both the mother and the infant survived and were doing well six months later, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment options like the "A-OK" protocol.
Mifepristone versus Foley balloon catheter for outpatient cervical ripening at term: A non-inferiority randomised controlled trial.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
February 2025
Dep. Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical School, University of Lisbon, Portugal; CEAUL - Centro de Estatística e Aplicações, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal.
Objective: To evaluate whether the success rate of oral mifepristone was not inferior to that of Foley balloon catheter for outpatient cervical ripening of term pregnancies, and whether there were differences in side effects for mothers and newborns.
Design: Open-label, non-inferiority randomised controlled trial.
Setting: A tertiary care European university hospital in an urban setting.
