Blood Loss and Side Effects in Day Case Abortion

Abstract

Summary Suction termination of pregnancy was performed in 276 patients as an out‐patient procedure under general anaesthesia. Ergometrine, oxytocin, or sterile water were given with the induction of anaesthesia. There was no significant difference in blood loss in the three treatment groups, although blood loss in termination of pregnancy performed after eight weeks was increased in all three groups. Nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain occurred significantly more often after ergometrine compared to oxytocin or water.

Highly sensitive and selective determination of methylergometrine maleate using carbon nanofibers/silver nanoparticles composite modified carbon paste electrode

“…Electrochemical methods have received considerable attention for analysis of pharmaceuticals due to a number of advantages, including high sensitivity, selectivity, simple A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 5 oxidation potential for MM suggesting excellent electrocatalytic activity of the proposed sensor. This leads to an enhanced sensitivity for MM determination.…”

“…MM is also sometimes used for the prevention and acute treatment of migraine [4]. However, the overdose may cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, numbness or tingling, faiting, seizure etc [5,6]. Therefore, its quantitative determination in pharmaceutical and biological fluids is of critical importance to reduce overdosing.…”
