Résumé
L’anesthésie générale est supérieure à tout autrei mode d’anesthésie, quand il s’agit d’opération césarienne:
- 1.
Elle est plus agréable pour la mère et sans dajnger pour elle ou son enfant.
- 2.
Elle supprime le risque des complication neutologiques.
- 3.
Elle ne provoque pas de chute de la pression artérielle.
- 4.
Elle élimine le danger des vomissements post-ppératoires.
- 5.
Elle assure au chirurgien une anesthésie adéquate, un relâchement musculaire suffisant sans diminuer la qualité de la contraction utérine postopératoire.
- 6.
Elle exige cependant chez l’anesthésiste, habiliéexpérience et collaboration entière avec le chirurgien.
Summary
The goal of this communication is to establish the superiority of general anaesthesia over spinal or any other type of anaesthqsia for caesarean section, after a series of 1,172 cases extending over a period of nine years.
- 1.
It is safer for both mother and child, and is more acceptable by the patient because of the psychic condition she is in when she has to undergo a caesarean section.
- 2.
It does away with the risk of neurologic complications.
- 3.
It does not produce any fall in the blood pressure nor any vomiting.
- 4.
It gives good relaxation to the surgeon and does not interfere with uterine tonicity after operation.
- 5.
It requires that the anaesthetist has the ability and experience and works with the entire collaboration of the surgeon to achieve perfect “tiping.”
The results, including both foetal and maternal mortality, are discussed and compare advantageously with published results in Canada and U.S.A.
