It always amazes me that these trials are on such a small number of women. While they are interesting, surely they are not able to be applied to the wider population of women? MM "Results for the intravenous oxytocin (n = 311) and oral misoprostol (n = 311) groups are as follows" -- This mailing

Re: [ozmidwifery] Misoprostol & the Third stage of Labour

There seems to be a lot of posts about Misoprostol but no talk of the increased risk this drug puts women at for uterine rupture. It can be quite a nasty drug and the pharmaceutical company that manufacture misoprostol aka cytotec have issued warnings against using the drug for women during chil

Like everything else, I'm sure they don't nor is it explained to them. I'd say that most people administering it don't know the dangers either. Love Abby > Janet Fraser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So despite it's danger to women, it's being used here? How appalling! > Bad > enough the wa

It is - in the 3 hospitals in 2 different states I have worked in (maternity) it is used to induce labour where the baby has died, and to treat PPH. I have not heard of it being used to induce labour where the baby is still alive, apart from mid-trimester abortions (conditions not compatib

Re: [ozmidwifery] Misoprostol

We use 1000mg Misoprostal ( 5 tablets PR) for PPH, along with 30iu Syntocinon in 500 mls CSL, catheter for bladder, and of course 'rubbing up a contraction' by a midwife. This is all after IM syntometrine given with the anterior shoulder. I have not seen misoprostol used for IOL, unless the wom

Re: [ozmidwifery] Misoprostol

We use Misoprostol for PPH. It comes in the protocol after IM syntometrine and IDC and either concomitant with 40u Syntocinon infusion or before if no IV access- thus very useful in postnatal ward in the case of secondary haemorrhages. We use 4 tabs, PR, and find it very effective. We don't use

RE: [ozmidwifery] Misoprostol

Joy, While working in Mildura we used it often for PPH. 2-4 tablets pr. It seemed to be effective. It was never used for IOL. Anne I work in a very small hospital, covering acute, aged care, emergency, as well as midwifery. One of our GP obstetricians has requested that we have Misoprostol
