[Sulprostone in the prevention and therapy of hemorrhage due to postpartal uterine atony]. / Il sulprostone nella prevenzione e terapia della emorragia da atonia uterina post-partum.

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.
