[Effect of anesthesia on the condition of newborn infants following cesarean section].

A comparative study of the anesthesia at cesarean section with application of d-tubocurarine in 602 cases and application of only succinylcholine in 69 cases before delivery showed no differences in the Apgars-scores of the newborn. Only severe obstetric complications and long duration of the anesthesia influenced the clinical condition of the infants. There was no correlation between the doses of barbiturates or tubocurarine given to the mother and the Apgars-scores.
