Summary
The primary aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of misoprostol vs
extra amniotic saline infusion via a catheter (EASI) for cervical ripening on the proportion
of patients delivered by cesarean section for fetal intolerance of labor versus vaginal
delivery. The primary hypothesis is that patients undergoing cervical ripening with EASI
catheter are less likely to undergo cesarean section for fetal intolerance of labor when
compared to women who receive misoprostol.
