Intrauterine Pressure Monitoring with a Balloon-Tipped Catheter

CESAR VILLANUEVA, MD, FACOG and JACQUES P. SAUVAGE, MD

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri

Abstract

Clinical experience with the latex and new estane balloons and a short and flexible guide is described. The extraovular balloon as an intrauterine pressure sensor is compared to the open-ended transcervical intraamniotic catheter, and the balloon is considered superior in many respects. The transcervical extraovular water-filled 0.8-ml estane balloon is recommended for use in place of the open-ended transcervical catheter in all clinical situations in obstetrics in which there is a need for monitoring intrauterine pressure.
