Pharmacology for Preterm Labor
Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, 2020Preterm birth occurs with 10% of deliveries and yet accounts for more than 85% of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Management of preterm labor prior to delivery includes a multipronged pharmacologic approach targeting utilization of reproductive hormones for continuation of pregnancy, advancement of fetal lung maturity, and the decrease of uterine ...

AbstractIncreased uterine contractility at term and preterm results from activation and then stimulation of the myometrium. Activation can be provoked by mechanical stretch of the uterus and by an endocrine pathway resulting from increased activity of the fetal hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis.

In summary, a definite association has been demonstrated between preterm labor and genital tract infection. Conclusions regarding the true benefits of antibiotics as adjunctive therapy in treatment of preterm labor are inconsistent. Whereas some of the studies were able to demonstrate significant prolongation of pregnancy, no consistent reduction in ...

There are many conditions, such as non-white race, young maternal age, and uterine malformations, that have been associated with preterm birth that are not amenable to intervention. Maternal cervical and intrauterine infection and inflammation may have a primary causative role in a fraction of the cases of preterm birth and preterm rupture of membranes

The management of preterm labor*1
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2002Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and a substantial portion of all birth-related short- and long-term morbidity. Spontaneous preterm labor is responsible for more than half of preterm births. Its management is the topic of this review. Although there are many maternal characteristics associated with preterm birth, the etiology in

The ultimate goal of treating preterm labor is to prolong the pregnancy long enough to decrease the incidence of neonatal mortality and morbidity associated with prematurity, while minimizing maternal and fetal risks. There are many controversies in treating preterm labor.
