title: Hematological studies in induction of abortion by extra-amniotic administration of sulproston.
abstract: The prostaglandin E2 derivative, Sulproston, was administered extra-amniotically for the induction of abortion in an average dosage of 200 microgram, in ten patients. With a success rate of 50%, the subjective side effects were very slight. Temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure and frequently of breathing did not change markedly. The ADP- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation showed a tendency to increase but disaggregation remained the same. Spontaneous platelet aggregation according to Breddin did not change. The parameters examined of the coagulation and fibrinolytic system showed only a slight increase in fibrinolytic activity during and after induction of abortion. The remaining hematological parameters showed no changes.
