[Regional anesthesia in emergency cesarean section. Quality of epidural and spinal anesthesia].

From 1987 to 1989, 97.8% of non-elective caesarean sections at Innherred general hospital were performed under regional anaesthesia (N = 271). A retrospective analysis showed that the mean time from giving the anaesthetic until start of surgery was 28.1 min. with epidural anaesthesia and 12.7 min. with spinal anaesthesia. Mean time was 25.9 and 9.3 min. respectively in cases of suspected asphyxia. In eight women primary anesthesia was unsuccessful; six received further spinal anaesthesia and two general anaesthesia. Regional anaesthesia is considered safe for the purpose, but in cases of serious asphyxia there is some controversy as to whether spinal or general anaesthesia is to be preferred.

[Endoscopic biopsy of the small intestine in children].

As from 1983, endoscopy with biopsy in general anesthesia was used instead of the capsule suction method in children with suspected coeliac disease in a county hospital. A study was carried out to evaluate mean endoscopy time, duration of general anesthesia, complications and quality of biopsies. An ordinary Olympus GIF-Q endoscope (diameter 11 mm) was used in 17 patients, eight boys and nine girls. Mean age was 5.9 years (range 11 months-14 years). Mean endoscopy time was 5.3 min. and of duration of general anesthesia 13.6 min. No serious complications such as perforation or bleeding were recorded. All the biopsies that were taken were considered representative. In coeliac disease the method is time-sparing, less harmful to the children, provides representative biopsies and gives fewer complications.
