Induction of therapeutic abortion using either extra-amniotic prostaglandin F-2-alpha or hypertonic saline followed by oxytocin.
160 women with uteri at 10-20 weeks gestation were treated with either PG(prostaglandin)F2alpha or saline solution followed by oxytocin to effect an abortion. 80 women were in each treatment group. The distribution of the patients according to age, parity, and gestation duration is tabulated. PGF2alpha was administered extraovularly in a concentration of .1 mg/ml with .7 mg being injected in the operating theater and nurses administering the rest based on response to previous injections. Administration continued for up to 30 hours. Saline was given in a volume in ml dependent on the duration of pregnancy multiplied by a factor of 10. Subcutaneous injections of oxytocin were given on subsequent days to speed the abortion. 85% of the PG patients successfully aborted without surgical dilatation of the cervix. The average dosage of PG required was 7.5 mg in 11 instillations. Side effects and complications in the PG group were minimal. 1 instillation of saline followed by 2 days of oxytocin were required to effect a 79% abortion rate in the saline group. Although the number of patients requiring surgical dilatation was the same for both groups, the procedure was much less time-consuming for the PG group. The complication rate was 26% for the saline group as compared to 14% for the PG group. The PG group required a shorter hospital stay.
