- Tocolysis for preventing fetal distress in second stage of labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Apr-2011
Prophylactic tocolysis with betamimetics and other agents has become widespread as a treatment for fetal distress. Uterine relaxation may improve placental blood flow and therefore, fetal oxygenation. However, there may also be adverse maternal cardiovasc
- Tocolytics for delaying preterm birth: a network meta‐analysis (0924)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Aug-2022
Preterm birth is the leading cause of death in newborns and children. Tocolytic drugs aim to delay preterm birth by suppressing uterine contractions to allow time for administration of corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation, magnesium sulphate for neur
- Tocolytics for preterm premature rupture of membranes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Feb-2014
In women with preterm labor, tocolysis has not been shown to improve perinatal mortality; however, it is often given for 48 hours to allow for the corticosteroid effect for fetal maturation. In women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), th
- Tocolytics for suspected intrapartum fetal distress
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Oct-2008
Prophylactic tocolysis with betamimetics and other agents has become widespread as a treatment for fetal distress. Uterine relaxation may improve placental blood flow and, therefore, fetal oxygenation. However, there may also be adverse maternal cardiovas
