Abstract: | PGF2α or hypertonic (20 per cent) saline followed by oxytocin was used to terminate pregnancy in 160 women between the 10th and 20th weeks of gestation.In the patients treated with PGF2α minor side-effects were reported in about 50 per cent of the cases, however, the method was superior to hypertonic saline with regard to the number of complications and the length of stay in hospital. |
