[Comparison of the effectiveness of Partusisten and ethanol tocolysis. I: long-term tocolysis with Partusisten or ethanol].
Effectiveness of long term tocolysis with fenoterol (Partusisten) (n = 124) or ethanol (n = 117) has been compared in a retrospective study of the years 1978 to 1980. Situation of starting therapy has been estimated by Bishop-Score, tocolysis index and gestational week. Criterias of success were duration of gestation (reaching greater than or equal to 37th gestational week), neonatal parameters (weight greater than or equal to 2500 g, RDS morbidity, neonatal mortality) and prolongation index by Richter and success score by Weidinger. Fenoterol (Partusisten) is the better drug for treatment of premature labor. In cases of contraindications or incompatibility ethanol tocolysis is justified.
