A SERIES of 28 patients with premature labour were treated with salbutmol by the intravenous and oral routes. The interval from commencement of therapy to delivery was more than 24 hours in 39 per cent of the patients, Patients with ruptured membranes or with cervical dilation of 3 cm or greater responded poorly, in 25 per cent, delivery was postponed for more than one week but, in three cut of these seven patients, still occurred before 36 weeks. Salbutamol produced both maternal and fetal side-effects in some patients but these never necessitated cessation of therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
