[Infusion therapy after vaginal hysterectomy (author's transl)].

The applicability of a complete solution containing amino acids, electrolytes and calories for post-operative infusion therapy after vaginal hysterectomy was investigated. In the 16 patients examined it was found that using this solution it is possible to maintain a smooth nitrogen balance to a large extent. In a control group of 6 patients who only received an infusion of electrolytes and calories, the nitrogen balance was clearly noncompensated. As even with the complete solution compensation of the nitrogen balance is not achieved until the second day, it is recommended that for patients at risk the infusion treatment should be commenced on the day prior to operation.

[The relationship of maternal obesity, excessive weight gain in pregnancy and pre-eclampsia].

The records of 2,671 pregnancies were reviewed regarding maternal obesity, excessive weight gain in pregnancy and pre-eclampsia. Pre-eclampsia is significantly more frequent in maternal obesity. Correlation between excessive weight gain in pregnancy and pre-eclampsia is only found for the signs of edema and hypertension. Edema and excessive weight gain in pregnancy are related to each other, since edema frequently induces the excessive weight gain. Overall, maternal obesity perior to pregnancy is much more important in the development of pre-eclampsia than excessive weight gain during pregnancy.

[Obese patients in obstetrics].

The results of two studies about the course of pregnancy and delivery in adipose women in our hospital are combined and discussed. We found a higher rate of EPH-gestosis in overweight patients. The frequency of Cesarean section was increased. Belated uterine involution post partum is more frequent in adipose women, also the occurrence of urinary tract infections. There is a significant increase in perinatal mortality, mainly due to an increase in still-born. Pneumonia due to aspiration and birth traumata occur more frequently as well and endanger the children.

[Potassium substitutes during tocolysis].

The level of serum potassium during tokolytic therapy with Partusisten and Isoptin decreases in the first 24 hours of therapy. This decrease is not due to an increase in renal potassium elimination. During tokolytic treatment the serum level of potassium returns to its normal value after 48 hours without potassium substitution. While there is a decrease in serum potassium noticeable changes in electrocardiogram which are typial for hypopotassemia are observed. These changes disappear afer 48 hours of tokolytic treatment but never the less the initial serum potassium drop should be balanced by potassium substitution within these 48 hours.
