The ideal anaesthetic technique for Caesarean section under general anaesthesia has not been identified.Although current anaesthetic practice is to use 50 per cent N20/Oz supplemented with low-dose vapour, some anaesthetists use 100 per cent 02, supplemented with either halothane or enflurane.Therefore, a study comparing fetal arterial PO2 and anaesthetic techniques was done. MethodsA retrospective chart survey of Caesarean sections under gen eral anaesthesia between January 1985 and July 1986 was done.Only charts complete enough to allow analysis of type of anaesthesia, urgency, fetal cord gases and Apgar scores were reviewed.Group 1 consisted of those patients who received 100 per cent O2 supplemented with either halothane or enflurane, and Group 11 consisted of those who received 50 per eent O~/N20 supplemented with either halothane or enflumne.All patients received thiopentone and succinylcholine for induction.No narcotics were given prior to cord clamping Fetal cord gases were determined from a doubly clamped segment of umbilical cord at the time of delivery.Arterial and venous cord gases were stored on ice and determined within 15 minutes.Maternal haemoglobin concentrations were routinely measured preoperatively and 48 hours postoperatively.Apgar scores and fetal weights were obtained from the neonatal inlensi','e care staff who routinely attend all Caesarean sections.One tailed unpaired t tests were used to compare fetal blood gases, Apgar scores, weights, maternal preoperative and postoperative haemoglobins.A p value of <0_05 was considered statistically significant.
