Abstract

It is only natural that in the search for an ideal analgesic for labor this drug should be considered. Allen2 studied its effects in a series of maternity cases and stated he obtained good results. The convulsions which occasionally occur with his technique are easily controlled with intravenous Pentothal Sodium. Johnson and Gilbert3 also reported good results with the use of procaine during labor. The studies of Frazer4 with a dilute mixture of procaine and Pentothal as an adjunct to surgical anesthesia seemed to us to point in the proper direction. He used this mixture in varying concentrations to produce anesthesia either alone or in combination with other anesthetic agents. We decided t.o study the value of this mixture of procaine and Pentothal Sodium as an analgesic agent during labor.
