Fluothane in Obstetrical Anaesthesia

C. A. SHERIDAN M.D.1 and J. G. ROBSON F.F.ARC.S.(ENG.)1

1 Department of Anaesthesia of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, P.Q.

Between 1956 and 1959, in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, 1,601 vaginal deliveries have been managed with nitrous oxide, oxygen, and Fluothane anaesthesia.

An attempt has been made to assess the condition of the babies and the uterine tone of mothers receiving this anaesthetic in comparison with a control group. The results show that provided that anaesthesia is maintained in a very light plane, no undue depression of respiration in the babies or of uterine tone in the mothers need be expected.

The place of Fluothane in obstetrical anaesthesia has been discussed.
