What is the future of tocolysis?
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 2004Use of the currently available tocolytics is controversial because it has not been associated with improved perinatal outcomes. New markers of preterm labour may come from gene-profiling studies, in as much as they may help in identifying novel genes regulating myometrial quiescence and in expanding our understanding of the pathologic process of ...

Electrical Inhibitor for Tocolysis [PDF]
2020 Design of Medical Devices Conference, 2020 Abstract Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidities and mortalities. Limited methods are available to physicians for mitigating PTB, thus posing an urgent need to develop effective methods for its prevention.

Seventeen patients in whom uterine activity responded favorably to parenteral magnesium sulfate were given oral magnesium gluconate for continued tocolysis. The mean serum magnesium level before therapy was 1.44 +/- 0.22 mg/100 ml, whereas 2 hours after initiation of oral magnesium it was 2.16 +/- 0.32 mg/100 ml (p less than 0.05).

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2003
In 1950, the World Health Organisation (WHO) defined prematurity as a birthweight of 2500 g or less and in 1961 as a gestational age of less than 37 weeks. The time in between marks an era in which there was growing recognition of the importance of gestational age at birth and how to influence it.

Tocolysis: A Review of the Literature
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2019Importance Preterm delivery represents an important cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Various tocolytics have been studied with the objective of stopping preterm labor, increasing gestational age at delivery, and preventing complications related to preterm birth.

Magnesium Sulfate Tocolysis [PDF]
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2006 Intravenous magnesium sulfate tocolysis remains a North American anomaly. This therapy rose to prominence based on poor science and the recommendations of authorities. However, a Cochrane systematic review concluded that magnesium sulfate is ineffective as a tocolytic. The review found no benefit in preventing preterm or very preterm birth.

Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2014
Preterm birth occurs in 12% of all births in the United States. Preterm labor precedes approximately half of these births. Tocolysis is used in the short term to prolong pregnancy long enough to administer corticosteroids and/or facilitate transfer to a tertiary care center. A number of agents have been used for this therapy, which will be discussed in

Prophylactic tocolysis of twins
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986The prophylactic use of oral terbutaline was studied in 28 normal, healthy, low-risk women with twin gestations. The mean birth weights were significantly increased over those in a similar group of control patients.

Indomethacin Tocolysis and Neurodevelopmental Outcome
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2011To compare the neurodevelopmental outcomes, at 30-42 months adjusted age, between infants exposed to antenatal indomethacin and those unexposed to antenatal indomethacin.This was a retrospective cohort study. The study cohort consisted of all nonanomalous infants with birth weight ≤ 1250 g and/or gestational age ≤ 28 wks born between 2000 and 2003, who
