Acute Tocolysis for Fetal Distress: Terbutaline Versus Magnesium Sulphate

Abstract: Forty-six women in active labour who developed fetal distress requiring abdominal delivery were randomized to receive 0.25 mg of terbutaline (subcutaneously) or magnesium sulphate as a 4-g bolus (intravenously) to decrease uterine activity. The terbutaline-treated group in contrast to the magnesium sulphate-treated group had reduced uterine activity as measured by Montevideo units (p < 0.002). This decrease in uterine activity was noted more rapidly in all 23 patients who received terbutaline, 1.8 +/- 0.74 min… Show more

“…In the terbutaline group, Apgar scores were more likely to be higher and fewer babies were acidotic. In MAGANN et al's [6] study, the terbutaline-treated group was less likely to be acidotic than the magnesium sulphate group. In our study, although there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of blood gas values and Apgar scores, there was a trend which was consistent with the above studies.…”

“…The time interval between the decision to deliver by Cesarean section and delivery of the baby is also important. In MAGANN et al's [6] study Cesarean section was performed within 10-15 minutes in all cases. This may not be possible in busy hospitals, however.…”

“…No extraña pues, que al producir una relajación uterina farmacológica, el feto pueda recuperar su estado de oxemia basal y mejorar así las alteraciones que se produzcan en el MEFI. Hay suficiente evidencia para afirmar que la tocolisis intraparto, es una maniobra de resucitación intrauterina efectiva, en mejorar las alteraciones del MEFI con una efectividad promedio cercana al 80% (27)(28)(29). Esta efectividad está claramente demostrada para ß-miméticos y Nitroglicerina, no existiendo estudios suficientes que confirmen a Atosiban como tocolí-tico efectivo para resucitación intrauterina frente a un MEFI alterado.…”

“…Os betamiméticos são os tocolíticos de escolha, já que proporcionam melhores resultados perinatais 7 . Os efeitos colaterais maternos incluem palpitações, mal-estar, tremores musculares, vermelhidão no rosto, sudorese, taquicardia e hipotensão.…”
