Abstract
One-hundred-eighty-three patients underwent saline abortion utilizing a standardized
technique employing saline excess of near 150 ml over amniotic fluid aspirated, infusion
of relatively high dose oxytocin 10 units/ hour, and the insertion of two laminaria
tents. A reduction in mean instillation-abortion time of nearly 20% to 17.7 hours
was observed with the use of the laminaria tents.
