Abstract: | Termination of pregnancy in missed abortion and intra-uterine fetal death was accomplished using vaginal suppositories of 20 mg PGE2 in 31 cases and the results were compared with oxytocin induction (with or without estrogen pre-treatment) in 17 cases at the doses routinely used in our hospital. The PG suppositories proved much more superior (96.7%) than oxytocin (47.7%), but induced a higher rate of side effects. The latter were not serious and were generally tolerated by the patients. There was a positive correlation between duration of fetal retention in utero and the induction expulsion time. The over all patient acceptance of the method was quite favourable and the approach appears to be a definite advance towards management of these cases. |
