Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The effect of the calcium antagonist nifedipine on premature labor was investigated in ten carefully selected patients. The main aim of treatment was to inhibit uterine activity and delivery for 3 days during which time fetal lung maturation was accelerated by glucocorticoid treatment. In all 10 patients, uterine activity was abolished during the 3 days of treatment and delivery was also postponed. No serious maternal side effects were observed. All children were delivered in good condition. All survived and were alive and well at 1 year. |
