  • Literature review of tocolytic management in preterm labor.
  • Analysis of the principal indications for tocolysis.

Main Results:

  • Tocolytic management is increasingly considered for patients in preterm birth prevention programs.
  • The primary benefit of tocolysis is extending pregnancy duration.

Conclusions:

  • Tocolysis is a key intervention in managing preterm labor.
  • Three main indications for tocolysis include prophylaxis, acute therapy, and maintenance.
