title: [Use of heparin in cases of septic abortion (author's transl)].
abstract: While in obstetrics heparin treatment of coagulopathy, generally, has been abandoned-prophylactic use of heparin has worked well, particularly in cases of septic abortion. -- Heparin prophylaxis may entail haemorrhagic complications which may be confused with coagulopathy, though caused by heparin. Necessary diagnostic and therapeutic action is explained against the background of a real case. The examinations required to analyse the coagulation and to differentiated between coagulopathy and heparin-caused haemorrhage are given in a diagram.
