Infarction Following the Use of an Abortifacient

چکیده
because it was thought that frequently repeated pregnancies were likely to endanger her health. Her doctor undertook to do the operation by using one of the abortifacient pastes (Aeratus), which he believed to be safe. After the preparation of the patient, the paste was injected very slowly between the membranes and the uterine wall. There was slight bleeding and suddenly the patient had a severe fit of cough and became cyanosed. She complained of severe pain in the chest and the loins. The next moment she was unconscious, pulseless and perspiring profusely. Coramine 4 c.cm. and adrenaline i c.cm. were given subcutaneously, and artificial respiration was started. Gradually the patient came round, and when I saw her, within 20 minutes of the collapse, she was conscious and able to recognize and talk. She still complained of severe pain in the left side of her chest and in the left loin. After a while she had a bout of coughing and the sputum was blood-tinged. About the same time she passed scanty urine with a fair amount of blood in it. One hour later, pleural friction and crepitations could be heard in a localized area in the left axillary region. Her cyanosis gradually disappeared after oxygen inhalations, but the pulse remained weak and rapid. The urine contained obvious blood for the next 48 hours, and gradually it cleared up. After 12 hours' abortion occurred. She was then treated as a case of pneumonia with M&B 693 tablets and occasional stimulants. The patient made an uneventful recovery.
