To investigate the use of electrical impedance measurements of the pregnant cervix as an objective measure of cervical favorability (Bishop score > or = 5).
A prospective study of 86 women, investigating electrical impedance measurements of the pregnant cervix at the time of induction of labor. Transfer electrical impedance measurements were made by placing a tetrapolar pencil probe of 8 mm in diameter on the surface of the cervix. A Bishop score was determined simultaneously.
A mean resistivity (standard error of the mean) of 7.03 (6.01-8.04) omega(m) was measured for the unfavorable group and 5.34 (4.61-6.07) omega(m) for the favorable group. This was a statistically significant difference (p = 0.016).
We highlight the ability of this safe, painless technique to differentiate the favorable from the unfavorable cervix at induction of labor.
研究通过测量妊娠宫颈的电阻抗作为评估宫颈成熟度(Bishop评分≥5分)的客观指标。
对86名女性进行前瞻性研究,在引产时测量妊娠宫颈的电阻抗。通过将直径8毫米的四极笔式探头置于宫颈表面来进行电阻抗测量。同时确定Bishop评分。
宫颈不成熟组的平均电阻率(均值标准误)为7.03(6.01 - 8.04)Ω·m,宫颈成熟组为5.34(4.61 - 6.07)Ω·m。这一差异具有统计学意义(p = 0.016)。
我们强调了这种安全、无痛技术在引产时区分宫颈成熟与不成熟的能力。
