Key result
Intravenous nitroglycerin administration for internal podalic version of the second non-vertex twin resulted in a 10% failure rate of uterine relaxation (1 of 10 cases).
Why the study?
Does intravenous nitroglycerin induce uterine relaxation for obstetrical emergencies?
Observational (n=10)
Does intravenous nitroglycerin induce uterine relaxation for obstetrical emergencies?
Intravenous nitroglycerin induces transient and prompt uterine relaxation, facilitating the management of obstetric emergencies without compromising maternal or fetal prognosis.

May support nitroglycerin for select twin deliveries; leaves open efficacy and safety pending randomized data.
Vinatier et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Obstetric emergencies (internal podalic version of the second non-vertex twin) (n=10). Intravenous nitroglycerin was evaluated on Failure of internal podalic version due to failure of uterine relaxation. Intravenous nitroglycerin administration for internal podalic version of the second non-vertex twin resulted in a 10% failure rate of uterine relaxation (1 of 10 cases).
