[On the use of fenoterolhydrobromide in the treatment of imminent abortion (author's transl)].

A report was made about the retrospective comparison of a purely hormonal and a hormonal-tocolytic therapy of abortus imminens in 153 patients. The statistical comparison of the two groups was later specified. As a successful criterion, the successful childbirth was based upon. In this case it was found out, that an additional tocolytic medication of the final result was insignificantly affected, rather the hospital admittance under the tocolysis was significantly lengthened and the number of pregnancies which ended through abortion was reduced. Through this clear indication, it could be said, that pregnancies with delicate prognosis through tocolytic therapy are possibly unnecessarily lengthened and the final result is not better.
