Abstract :

In a randomised controlled study conducted at B.J. Medical College Pune, 100 patients undergoing second trimester medical termination of pregnancy (MTP)were included. Methodology: Group A received tablets misoprostol 200 mcg vaginally every 6 hourly till abortion. Group B patients underwent extraamniotic instillation of 150 cc of ethacridine lactate with tablet dinoprostone. Patients were observed for induction abortion interval, completeness of abortion and complications. Results: 100% success rate was observed in group A. Induction abortion interval was significantly less in group A. It was not affected by gestational age. In group B induction abortion interval goes on reducing as gestational age advances. Average dose of misoprostol required for complete abortion is 621.92 mcg. No major complications were noted in any group. Conclusion: Misoprostol should be drug of choice for second trimester MTP as it is highly effective with significantly less induction abortion interval.
