[Intrauterine pressure and fetal and maternal heart rate on administration of the betamimetic agent, hexoprenaline during labour (author's transl)]. 1981

G Bernaschek, and K Hondros, and A Schaller

The tocolytic effect of hexoprenaline was determined in 20 women by internal cardiotocography during labour. After 30 minutes of intravenous medication (0.3 microgram/min = dosage for massive tocolysis) the uterine activity decreased on average by 73.6%; the maternal pulse rate increased by 25.0%; the fetal heart rate showed no significant change.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007752	Obstetric Labor, Premature	Onset of OBSTETRIC LABOR before term (TERM BIRTH) but usually after the FETUS has become viable. In humans, it occurs sometime during the 29th through 38th week of PREGNANCY. TOCOLYSIS inhibits premature labor and can prevent the BIRTH of premature infants (INFANT, PREMATURE).
