[Treatment of postpartal atony with prostaglandins]
Uterine contraction can be brought about at any time with prostaglandins. This effect is exploited in the treatment of postpartal atonia. Prostaglandin was administered intravenously to 21 women for postpartal atonia. In 19 women the bleeding subsequently stopped. There were no side effects of the treatment. These results are presented and discussed with reference to other data in the literature.
