Induction of labour and abortion by intravenous prostaglandins in pregnancies complicated by intra-uterine foetal death and hydatidiform mole.

Abstract:

:In a study of 32 patients, there were 29 cases of intra-uterine fetal death and 3 cases of hydatidiform mole. The intravenous administration of either prostaglandin E1, E2 or F2 successfully induced labor in 29 out of the 32 cases. 2 patients delivered following additional intravenous oxytocin and there was 1 failure due to the development of upper limb cyanosis. Side-effects included vomitng, phlebitis, facial flushing, rigors, pyrexia and uterine hypertonus. The method confirms the high success rates reported previously but the incidence of side-effects was disturbing. It is emphasized that prostaglandin E1 was used during this original research trial when prostaglandins were 1st investigated clinically. Prostaglandin E1 has not been made available commerically.
