Missed abortion and uterine contractility
Am J Obstet Gynecol.

Abstract
In missed abortion myometrial contractility is thought to be suppressed. However, such a simple procedure as sweeping of the fetal membranes by physiologic saline solution was found to provoke abortion within 24 hours in 10 of 12 cases of missed abortion, but not in any of 10 women admitted for therapeutic abortion. Myometrial contractility thus seems not to be diminished in missed abortion.
