title: [Determination of selected coagulation parameters in induced abortion by means of 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha].
abstract: There were accomplished investigations about changes of bleeding and recalcification time, platelet count, levels of heat-fibrin, prothrombin, partial thromboplastin time, platelet adhesiveness and heparinocytes at 10 women during induction of therapeutic abortion by use of intramuscular injections of 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha in the first and second trimester of pregnancy. The studies were performed before treatment, 30 minutes, 4 and 8 hours after beginning 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha-administration, 2 hours after expulsion of product of conception  and 24 hours after first injection. The following investigations showed statistical significant changes: Prothrombin decreased during treatment with 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha and did not obtain the starting value 24 hours after first injection. Platelet count showed an equal attitude. The heparinocytes showed a continuous falling off up to 2 hours after termination the pregnancy. A significant ascent was noticed 24 hours after first investigation. The results of studies did not indicate a strong injury of coagulation system. They support the positive estimate for induction of therapeutic abortion with 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha in the first and second trimester of pregnancy.
