Abstract

Background and Aim: In obstetrics, calcium antagonists, in particular nifedipine, have become increasingly popular for the management of PRETERM LABOR and are more effective TOCOLYTIC agents than beta 2-sympathomimetics. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of ORAL NIFEDIPINE therapy on ultrasonographic cord blood flow parameters in pregnant women with short cervical length.Materials and Methods: In a case-series study, 20 patients at risk of PRETERM LABOR with shortening cervix in serial examinations were included. Patients received ORAL NIFEDIPINE administered 40 mg per day until 37 w of gestational age (GA). Umbilical artery Doppler parameters including systolic/diastolic ratio (SD) and pulsatility index (PI) were recorded before and biweekly after nifedipine prescription.Results: The mean of age was 25.55±4.58 years. The mean cervical length was 19.68±6.32 nifedipine consumption was initiated at the 26.4±4.12 wand was terminated at 36.10±2.65 w. The side effects of nifedipine were occurred in 2 patients (10%). In no patient no SD and PI measure get out of normal values. In contrast to PI, after nifedipine consumption SD was significantly higher than before (2.28±0.45 vs. 2.65±0.21).Two neonates (10%) were delivered before 37w and less than 2500gr. Just one neonate needed NICU stay.Conclusion: ORAL NIFEDIPINE can be used as a safe and effective TOCOLYTIC treatment in patients at risk of PRETERM LABOR with shortened cervical length.
