| Abstract |
|
Two series of 15 patients who undersent cesarean section with general anesthesia were given either 0.5% halothane (Group I ) or 0.75% isoflurane (Group II) as supplements of 50%, nitrous oxide in oxygen used for maintenance. In Group II, recovery was slower than in group I, but there was no intraoperative awareness and neither uterine relaxation assessed by visual analogue scale nor bleeding assessed by postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit value presented difficulty. Infant well-being, as judged by Apgar score and cord blood gas analysis, was not affected. |
