A

In high risk cases as in:

32
Q

  • If pregnancy is ( ) 34 & 37 weeks
A
  • Decision of tocolysis depends on quality of care available for premature infants & estimated fetal weight
33
Q

Types of Tocolytics

  • Long term

Not effective(oral):

  • As they stop uterine contractions temporarily but rarely prevent preterm birth

  • Others
