Abstract
Effectiveness of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) in controlling postpartum uterine hemorrhage was evaluated with the following results. (1) Systemic administration, whether by continuous i.v. infusion or by gluteal i.m. injection, was not a completely adequate method for hemostasis. (2) Local administration by directly injecting into the uterine musculature, whether transabdominally or transvaginally, resulted in a dramatic reduction of the rate of bleeding. Routine clinical application of the direct intramyometrial injection of PGF2alpha for severe post-partum hemorrhage is recommended in view of its easy performance, excellent hemostatic effect, minimal side effects and good prognosis.Entities:
