The molecular basis of labour and tocolysis

Fetal and Maternal Medicine Review, 1998
Although significant advances to patient care have been made in various branches of obstetrics and gynaecology, the incidence of preterm birth has not changed in the past 40 years. Indeed there are signs that factors such as low socioeconomic status of some inner city populations, the tendency for women to choose to start a family at an older age and ...

[Tocolysis with clenbuterol tablets].

Zentralblatt fur Gynakologie, 1987
The authors report on the results of treatment of threatening premature labour with clenbuterol. The daily dose was 40 micrograms twice and later 20 micrograms twice with good efficiency. Action of clenbuterol relating to tocolysis, metabolism and cardiovascular system has been compared with fenoterol-perlongettes.

Maintenance tocolysis: a reappraisal of clinical evidence

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2019
Maintenance tocolysis, mostly defined as the continuation of tocolytic treatment beyond 48 h, remains a matter of debate. There is no sufficient evidence from randomized controlled trials, that maintenance tocolysis is able to prolong pregnancy significantly and to reduce severe neonatal morbidity and mortality.

The case for tocolysis in threatened preterm labour

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2003
The failure of tocolytics to improve neonatal outcomes in placebo‐controlled trials has wrongly been interpreted as evidence that they do not work. While delivery is unequivocally prolonged by 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days, the time gained was not exploited to optimise neonatal outcome.

[Tocolysis: which are the benefits?].

Minerva ginecologica, 2006
Spontaneous preterm labor is still a major problem in perinatal medicine and it is associated to overwhelming risks of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Delaying delivery for hours, days or sometimes weeks may greatly reduce the short- and long-term perinatal morbidity improving fetal maturity of several organs and systems.

The Association of Prenatal Tocolysis and Breastfeeding Duration

Breastfeeding Medicine, 2016
To date there are no clinical studies analyzing potential effects of tocolytics on breastfeeding duration in humans.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between beta 2 agonists prescribed for tocolysis during pregnancy and breastfeeding duration.We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire study of 114 mothers and filled in the ...

Tocolysis for assisting delivery at caesarean section

2004
Caesarean section involves making an incision in the woman's abdomen and cutting through the uterine muscle. The baby is then delivered through that incision. Difficult caesarean birth may result in injury for the infant. Medication that relaxes the uterus (tocolytic medication) may facilitate the birth of the baby at caesarean section.To compare the ...

Tocolysis: Present and future treatment options

Seminars in Perinatology, 2017
In the United States, the generally accepted indication for tocolytic therapy centers on suppression of preterm labor. This may be in the form of preventative therapy with progesterone in women with prior spontaneous preterm birth or as an acute intervention to suppress established uterine contractions associated with cervical change occurring at less ...

[Comparison of the effectiveness of Partusisten and ethanol tocolysis. I: long-term tocolysis with Partusisten or ethanol].

Zentralblatt fur Gynakologie, 1987
Effectiveness of long term tocolysis with fenoterol (Partusisten) (n = 124) or ethanol (n = 117) has been compared in a retrospective study of the years 1978 to 1980. Situation of starting therapy has been estimated by Bishop-Score, tocolysis index and gestational week.
