title: [Use of althesin as a drug to induce and maintain anesthesia for cesarean section].
abstract: Results with CT 1341 as the main anaesthetic agent in balanced anaesthesia in 90 cases of caesarean section are presented. It was found that this form of steroid anaesthesia had no effect on the Apgar score uterine tone, maternofoetal metabolism, or cardiocirculatory and respiratory stability. Reference is made to the possible injury of theatre staff owing to chronic exposure to volatile anaesthetics, and it is asserted that the use of althesin is a positive step forward in the solution of this problem.
