  • Title: Termination of pregnancy in cases of fetal death in utero by intravenous prostaglandin F2alpha.
    Author: Lange AP, Secher NJ, Westergaard J.
    Journal: Prostaglandins; 1976 Jan; 11(1):101-8. PubMed ID: 1257492.
    Abstract:
    Delivery was induced by an intravenous infusion of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) in gradually increasing doses in 30 consecutive cases of fetal death in utero after the 28th week of gestation. Twenty patients delivered during the first day of prostaglandin administration, 9 on the second day, and 1 patient not until the third day of infusion. It is concluded, that intravenous PGF2alpha appears to be superior to oxytocin in termination of pregnancy under these conditions.
