Threatened preterm labor. Management. Women presenting with threatened preterm labor are often treated with: Hospitalisation in a unit with facilities for neonatal intensive care. Administration of tocolytics to prevent preterm birth. Administration of steroids to improve fetal lung maturity.
A total of 600 preterm infants born with gestational age between 25 0/7 and 31 6/7 weeks and with a primary diagnosis of RDS will be involved in the study. Infants will be randomized to the LISA or LPPSA group when surfactant therapy is indicated.
Randomised studies on the use of tocolytics in threatened preterm labour have demonstrated a significant prolongation of pregnancy by about seven days but no significant reduction in the incidence of preterm birth.
