K M Altabef et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1992 Apr.

Intravenous nitroglycerin has recently come to the attention of obstetricians as a potent uterine relaxant. In the case presented, it was used to permit replacement of a tightly contracted, inverted uterus. Relaxation was rapid, effective, and associated with no adverse side effects.
