O'Brien P, El-Refaey H, Gordon A, Geary M, Rodeck CH.Rectally administered misoprostol for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage unresponsive to oxytocin and
ergometrine: a descriptive study.
Parenteral
ergometrine was available at 85% of health centres and dispensaries, and 70% provided manual removal of the placenta.
* Atonic uterus - stepwise use of oxytocics (oxytocin infusion,
ergometrine, prostaglandins): B-Lynch compression suture (Fig.
Haemodynamic effects of oxytocin (syntocinon) and methyl
ergometrine (methergin) on the systemic and pulmonary circulations of pregnant anaesthetized women.
In previous cases associated with caesarean delivery (10,11), intravenous
ergometrine or treatment of bradycardia and hypotension after spinal anaesthesia with ephedrine and atropine therapy, were considered possible precipitating factors.
This dropped to 59.1% among those given an injection of oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates contractions and plays a natural role in labour, and to 56.4% of women given an additional injection of
ergometrine, given to stop bleeding after the birth.
Aspirin ingredients are diverted into heroin production (32,000 tonnes of acetic anhydride were seized in 2007); birthing blood clotters such as
ergometrine double as LSD; even the anaesthetic diethyl ether gets diverted into cocaine production.
A prospective cohort study of oxytocin plus
ergometrine compared with oxytocin alone for prevention of postpartum haemorrhage.
The Czech Republic is a producer of
ergometrine, which is then used for the production of LSD.
Alkaloids, elimoklavine, festuklavine produce by Trichoderma and agroklavine,
ergometrine produce by Penicillium have antifungal activity against, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium solani and Alternaria tenius as well as antibacterial action which depressed the growth of several pathogenic bacteria, cause the death of living cell.
