High impact information on Uterine Inertia

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Uterine Inertia

  • Prostaglandin E2 vaginal suppositories may be useful in the treatment of persistent postpartum uterine atony [9].
  • Five patients with severe postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony and unresponsive to oxytocin, ergonovine, and massage were treated with intramyometrial injection of 250 micrograms of prostaglandin (15S)-15-methyl PGF2 alpha-Tham [10].
  • In cases of heavy bleeding and signs of uterine atony, ethylergometrine (0.2 mg Methergin) and oxytocin (40 i.e. Syntocinon in 500 ml, 5.5% glucose) were administered intravenously [11].
  • After delivery, opioids (sufentanil 0.4 microgram.kg-1 x hr-1) were used to limit the use of inhalational anaesthesia which may contribute to uterine atony [12].
  • Of these, 178 with a spontaneous start of labour and vaginal delivery were studied with respect to the effect of epidural block with bupivacaine-adrenaline on the course of labour and the condition of the infant in women with normal uterine activity and women with primary uterine inertia treated with oxytocin infusion [13].
 

Biological context of Uterine Inertia

  • Similarly, there were no significant differences between ET-1 plasma levels in normal pregnancies and other complicated pregnancies except for two cases in which much blood was lost due to uterine atony and abruptio placenta [14].
