Study Summary
This is a noninferiority randomized control trial of two cervical preparation methods prior to same-day Dilation \& Evacuation (D\&E). Cervical preparation is a process that softens and dilates the cervix prior to a procedure. The primary objective is to evidence noninferiority of cervical preparation using a single-balloon catheter method when compared to a group receiving osmotic dilators, specifically in D\&E operative time. Secondary objectives will compare the two methods for adequate dilation, ability to complete the operation in the same day, participant pain, satisfaction and safety.
Primary Outcome
the total duration in D\&E operative time measured in minutes. Operative start time will be marked as the time that the speculum is inserted for the first time. Operative end time will be marked as the time that the speculum is removed at the end of the case.
