Guía clínica de actuación de la interrupción del embarazo

In March 2010 the new law on sexual and reproductive health and of the voluntary termination of pregnancy became effective in our country. Among other things this law allows us to carry out pregnancy terminations after the 22nd week of pregnancy under certain circumstances. This has meant that new guidelines for the management of late pregnancy terminations have had to be introduced. In the majority of centers in our country that are allowed to practice pregnancy terminations medical treatment is the first option, especially in those cases that do exceed the 12th week. After reviewing the literature, we have found varying guidelines and drug doses, particularly in third trimester advanced pregnancies. We present our guidelines for pregnancy termination based on our clinical experience and a review of published guidelines and medical studies.
