The use of Short Acting Muscle Relaxing Drugs in Obstetrical Anaesthesia

J. W. DENNIS M.D.1 and JOHN J. CARROLL M.D1

1 Department of Anaesthesia of Grace Hospital, Vancouver, B.C., and the Burnaby Hospital, Burnaby, B.C.

Decamethonium Bromide and Succinyl Choline have been used in combination with nitrous oxide anaesthesia to produce muscular relaxation for the vaginal delivery of 591 obstetrical patients. There has been no evidence of placental transmission of these drugs to the baby. The use of these drugs has made possible the employment of lighter general anaesthesia, smaller episiotomies, and control of precipitate delivery. Advantages have accrued to the baby, and the mother, and to the obstetrician and the anaesthetist.

Note:

Presented at the Annual Meeting, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society, June 14, 1954.
