[Experiences with the preventive use of heparin in septic abortion].

Report on 62 cases of septic abortion with prophylactic use of heparin. In two cases during this prophylactic therapy shock develops with simultaneous decrease of blood level of fibrinogen as sign of disseminated intravascular coagulation. The generally accepted value of prophylactic medication of heparin in cases of septic abortion is not diminished by these casuistic observations. Examinations of the coagulation system are necessary at intervals.
