[Induced abortion in the early stages of pregnancy]
Abstract
PIP: This paper lists the proper steps in performing abortions during pregnancy as determined by the Czechoslovakia Ministry of Health. In nulliparous women, the mini-abortion may be performed up to the 45th day of pregnancy and in multiparous women up to the 55th day. Suction curretage without general anesthesia is the recommended method. Details of the technique of mini-abortion, the instruments used, and facility requirements are described. Before discharge, the patient rests in the supine and sitting positions for up to 1 hour. If there are no complications, follow-up examination takes place after 14 days and possibly also after the 1st menstrual period. At this time it is important to check the patient for possible extrauterine pregnancy which may have been undetected at the time of the abortion.
