title: [Prostaglandins for the termination of pathological pregnancies in the 2d trimester].
abstract: Prostaglandins (PG) are currently the drugs of choice to terminate pathological 2nd trimester pregnancies. 6 different dose schedules of were are tested in 100 women with missed abortion, hydatidiform mole, and fetal malformations: extraamniotic PGF2 alpha, intravenous PGE2, intravenous sulprostone (2 schedules), and intramuscular sulprostone (2 schedules). All tested regimens were effective. Induction-to-abortion times and incidence of side effects were different. Extraamniotic PGF2 alpha and intramuscular sulprostone appear to be the most practicable regimens.
