[Article in Italian]

Abstract

Sulprostone (Nalador-Schering) was used on 25 cases of bleeding caused by post-partum atonia that did not respond to conventional uterotonic treatment. The good results obtained led to the use of the drug whenever it was necessary to prevent haemorrhage independent of the risk factors that might cause its onset.
