Abstract
PIP: To alleviate crowding in the gynecological wards, 350 of 410 cases of incomplete abortion seen between February and July, 1969, were treated as outpatients with analgesia instead of anesthesia. Patients with sepsis, severe anemia, septicemia or hypovolaemic shock, or who aborted as a result of serious illness were treated as inpatients. 74.4% of the patients were discharged within 12 hours. Paracervical block in combination with pethidine and valium administered intravenously or premedication with pethidine was more effective than paracervical block alone.
