  • Title: [Cesarean-section narcosis using Tricuran (Gallamine as a long-lasting muscle relaxans before delivery of the infant].
    Author: Köhler G.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1977; 99(22):1388-93. PubMed ID: 602508.
    Abstract:
    The use of long term non-depolarizing muscle relaxants facilitates the carrying out of anaesthesia at caesarean section. We compared the Apgar-score of two groups of 20 newborns after caesarean section, whose mothers got only succinylcholine or succinylcholine and gallamine before delivery by a hexobarbiturate - nitrous oxide - oxygen anaesthesia. The Apgar-score was practically identical in both groups. 70% of infants of the succinylcholine group and 75% of infants of the gallamine group showed an Apgar-score between 7 and 10 after 1 minute. A later decrease was noticed in no case. The use of gallamine is without danger for the newborn.
