Summary
This paper presents a comparison between the anti-emetic properties of Fluothane, Trilene, and cyclopropane during obstetrical anaesthesia in 250 unselected deliveries.
A marked reduction in the incidence of vomiting during obstetrical anaesthesia has been obtained with the use of controlled concentrations of Fluothane (Fluotec apparatus) and a low percentage of this agent. The advantages and disadvantages of Fluothane in obstetrical anaesthesia are enumerated and the tabulated) results are self-evident.
Résumé
Dans ce travail, nous comparons les propriétés anti-émétiques de Fluothane, de Trilène et du cyclopropane dans 250 cas ďaccouchements non sélectionnés, au point de vue de la diminution de ľincidence de vômissements par ľemploi de Fluothane.
Les résultats obtenus dépendent de ľadministration adéquate de Fluothane, du matériel et de la technique employés. Une basse concentration de Fluothane et ľemploi ďun appareil Fluotec sont, de façon marquée, les principales pauses des résultats qui s’obtiennent.
Les avantages et désavantages de ľanesthésie au Fluothane en obstétrique et les résultats énumérés aux tableaux de cet ouvrage sont suffisamment éloquents.
