| Abstract | Background: Preterm birth is an important perinatal problem, causing great economic, social and emotional impact. Adverse effects related to tocolytic therapy are always a major concern. Objective: To describe morbidity and mortality of premature neonates who have been exposed to tocolytic therapy in The American British Cowdray Medical Center. Methods: Descriptive, retrolective and transversal study from January 2004 to December 2008. Fourty five cases of preterm birth were studied. Maternal and neonatal variables were analyzed from the patient’s records. Results: Monotherapy was used in 73.3% of the cases, orciprenaline being the most preferred utero-inhibitor (51.1%). In the group of neonates exposed to betamimetics, one presented neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, while another exposed to magnesium sulphate presented grade IV intraventricular hemorrhage. More than one complication in neonates was observed in seven neonates exposed to betamimetics, three exposed to nifedipine, two exposed to indomethacin and five exposed to multidrug therapy. Multidrug exposed neonates had a lower Apgar. Two neonatal deaths were observed, one in the group exposed to betamimetics and another in the multidrug group. Conclusions: Premature neonates exposed to multidrug therapy had a lower Apgar. The mortality rate of the preterm neonate exposed to tocolytic therapy was 0.03%. |
