Intravenous alcohol -- a single blind study in the prevention of premature delivery: a preliminary report

W G Watring et al. J Reprod Med. 1976 Jan.

Abstract

A single blind study for the evaluation of intravenous ethanol in the prevention of premature delivery is reported. Randomly selected patients admitted to Tripler General Hospital with uncomplicated pregnancies between 24 and 36 weeks' gestation having regular, sustained contractions were evaluated. Therapy consisted of intravenous 5% ethanol in 5% dextrose/water according to a weight-time-dose schedule. Control patients were given conventional treatment. Statistical evaluation of data has shown no significant difference between success and failure between the study and control groups to date.
