[Tocolysis with a nitroglycerin patch].
We would like to present a 22 year old nullipara where preterm labor was successfully tocolysed using a nitro-glycerine path without sequellae side effects. Potential advantages and disadvantages of a transdermal nitro-glycerine delivery system in comparison to the commonly used intravenous fenoterol tocolysis is discussed.
