title: [Prevention of premature delivery with acetylsalicylic acid].
abstract: In 52 cases acetylsalicylic acid was used to prevent labor when symptomatic tocolysis with beta-adrenergic substances showed insufficient results. By applying this method, 48 children were carried to full viability. Upon admission, all pregnancies were below 36 weeks of gestation. Upon delivery, 15 were between the 34th und 36th week, and 31 beyond the 36th week of gestation. We succeeded fully in 32 cases, 15 incomplete cases were observed and 5 failures. In addition to tocolysis, therapy with acetylsalicylic acid appears promising in preventing premature delivery.
