Summary
This study tested whether adding a powerful morphine-like drug (Ultiva) to the standard numbing medicine (lidocaine) can make the feticide procedure faster and less painful for the fetus and safer for the mother. The trial involved 66 women undergoing termination of pregnancy after 22 weeks. Researchers measured how quickly the fetal heartbeat stopped after the injection and checked for side effects.
