Abstract

The authors have observed that 10 cases of gestation period of 38 weeks to 42 weeks, age from 23 to 31 women. Patients were induced smoothly with Demorol 1.0~1.5mg/kg, Valium(Diazepam 0.15~0. 20mg/kg/Wt, 0.1% succinylcholine intravenous dripping and N2O-O2, 2:1 ratio inhalation anesthesia. The following results were observed. 1) Maternal systolic and diastolic blood pressure were maintained during the anesthesia in comparing prior to induction of anesthesia. However pulse rate depreased 9% after 5 minutes of anesthesia and 15% decreased at the end of anesthesia. 2) Maternal arterial blood gas was found insignificantly as prior to induction and 5minutes following anesthesia. 3) Blood gas of umbilical vein of newborn(prior to disconnect of umbilical cord), maintained within normal limits. 4) In compared with Moya's study, Apgar score of this anesthesia was lower than spinal anesthesia, whereas the authors observed higher than cyclopropane-succinylcholine, N2O-succinylcholine or thiopental-N2O-succinylcholine anesthesia. The authors have studied as above findings, however clinical studies to be needed.
