[Comparative studies of placentar diffusion of propanidid (Sombrevin) and barbiturate in premature pregnancies and cesarean sections]. / Vergleichende Untersuchungen der plazentaren Diffusion von Propanidid (Sombrevin) und Barbiturat bei Frühgeburten und Kaiserschnitt

The placental diffusion and fetal elimination of propanidid (Sombrevin) and hexobarbituralnatrium adhibited for the introduction of narcosis in cases of prematures requiring caesarean section is studied by virtue of maternal, umbilical cord, and new-born blood samples. On the basis of the results we come to the conclusion that for the introduction of narcosis in prematures requiring caesarean section, Sombrevin seems to be more suitable than hexobarbituralnatrium, owing to the quicker propanidid elimination.
