This article discusses a study which reviews several research on the effectiveness of the use tocolytics in the treatment of preterm labor. The patients were women in a referred care setting with preterm labor. Seventeen studies published from 1966 to 1997 met the final criteria to be included in the review. A study is included in the review if it was a placebo-controlled randomized trial evaluating the effect of a tocolytic on women in preterm labor and if it reported perinatal, neonatal or maternal outcomes. It was found that tocolytics were not associated with significant reduction in births, perinatal death, respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, patent ductus artiosus, neonatal sepsis, seizures and hypoglycemia. |
