The group that received inhalation anesthetics had greater blood loss despite the fact that they had approximately twice the frequency of use of doses of
methylergonovine than the group receiving IV anesthetics (Figure 2).
As ventricular fibrillation is a possible complication following the administration of intracoronary
methylergonovine, tests outside the cardiac catheterization rooms are not recommended.
Coronary Angiography and Intracoronary
Methylergonovine Testing.
Moreover, it's essential to move on to something else if one dose of
methylergonovine doesn't work, since it can't be given again for 2 hours, Dr.
Research Biochemicals supplied ergocomine, ergocristine,
methylergonovine maleate, and methysergide maleate.
(1,2) Medications reported to reduce postpartum bleeding include oxytocin, misoprostol, ergonovine,
methylergonovine, carboprost, and tranexamic acid.
Methylergonovine, or 15-methylprostaglandin [F.sub.2[alpha]], produces severe hypertension, tachycardia and increased pulmonary vascular resistance.
The researchers observed that the median ERL was greater in cases that involved administration of misoprostol,
methylergonovine, or carboprost tromethamine vs.
The combination of oxytocin and
methylergonovine was more effective in preventing postpartum hemorrhage than any single agent.
The IV oxytocin at the prescribed dose is running wide open, extra personnel are summoned to help, the first doses of
methylergonovine are given, and the misoprostol tablets are stored in the nearby drawer as prescribed by the institution's protocol.
Both carboprost and
methylergonovine are contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular and respiratory problems.
