ABSTRACT:
The use of lidocaine or other Class I cardiac antiarrhythmic compound in the management of preterm labor and the stoppage of labor preparatory to cesarian delivery, is disclosed. The electrophysiological effects of lidocaine on the sodium, calcium and potassium channels of freshly dissociated myocytes from late-pregnant rat uteri with the tight-seal patch-clamp method are presented. Dose-response relations on the sodium and calcium currents, and effects on the availability relation for sodium current are also presented. Also disclosed are the effects of chronic administration of lidocaine on the duration of pregnancy.
