[Antibiotic prophylaxis in non-elective cesarean section with single-dose imipenem versus multiple-dose cefotaxime].

Antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the incidence of febrile morbidity in women undergoing non-elective cesarean section. A randomized comparison of prophylactic single dose Imipenem, a carbapenem antibiotic with the broadest antimicrobial spectrum of activity of any antibiotic, with multiple doses Cefotaxime, a third generation cephalosporin, was undertaken in 48 women who underwent non-elective cesarean section (22 receiving Imipenem, 26 Cefotaxime). The incidence of febrile morbidity in the Imipenem group was 4.54% versus 7.69 in patients receiving multiple doses of Cefotaxime. There were non serious complications in the treated groups.

[Clinical considerations in the use of nifedipine in patients with "HELLP syndrome"].

The authors report eleven cases of patients having pregnancy induced hypertension, and two cases of patients having severe pregnancy induced hypertension complicated by thrombocytopenia, and elevated liver enzymes. Nifedipine has been used in treatment of blood hypertension. Moreover, nifedipine appeared to reverse thrombocytopenia and serum liver enzymes. The authors discuss the significance of Hellp syndrome (haemolysis, elevated liver Enzymes, and low platelet count).
