[Abortion and the use of anaesthesia. Observations after two years' experience (author's transl)].

Abstract

The authors give an account of their experience of anaesthesia in 380 abortion cases. Two kinds of technique were used: --paracervical block: 10.2 p. cent of the cases, only one complication; --narco-analgesia: considered to be essential. Dextromoramide was the principal analgesic used, chosen for its pharmacodynamic properties. Three narcotic drugs used successively in conjunction with this were: propanidine, with this drug per-anaesthetic complications and post-operative vomiting proved excessive, C.T. 1341 considerably reduced the frequency of these complications, disodic penthiobarbital did not give rise to any problems.
