R. J. PALAHNIUK 1 and M. CUMMING 1

1 Departments of Anaesthesia and Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Manitoba and Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Plasma fluoride levels were measured in 106 patients undergoing labour and delivery or Caesarean section. Mean plasma fluoride levels in all groups of patients studied were well below the levels expected to produce renal impairment. In one case with probable excessive methoxyflurane use, plasma fluoride level reached 73.4 µmol/l. Umbilical venous fluoride levels were about one-half the mother's venous level at delivery.
