Comparative Study[Peridural analgesia with 0.375 percent bupivacaine in labor with dystocia].
For dystoctic deliveries peridural analgesia with bupivacaine 0.25% was compared with bupivacaine 0.375%, without adrenalin. Shortening of the delivery time in cases of stagnation of dilatation, was obtained with bupivacaine 0.375%: 181 mn in the average instead of 276 mn with bupivacaine 0.25% (p = 0.05). In the case of a cervical spasm, there was release of the contraction with return of a normal dilatation leading to a shorter labour: 188 mn in the average against 340 mn (p = 0.02) with the 0.25% solution. Apgar scores were similar in both series.

21 parturients, showing in most of cases either high blood pressure badly controlled or a "real" out of date term, have undergone a peridural analgesia of first intention in labour induction. All these patients were considered to be uninducable according to Bishop score. ⋯ The mean between onset of analgesia and delivery was 17 h and the mean time between induction with ocytocin to birth 5 h 37 min. 16 parturients gave birth per vaginam, 9 of which spontaneously 5 have undergone caesarian section because of a non lack of dilatation or foetal distress. Children at birth, at the 2nd and the 24th hour were all healthy.

[Ketamine via rectal route for the induction of pediatric anesthesia].
Three groups of children: 6 months to 3 years old with congenital heart disease, and 4 to 12 years old, and mentally retarded 14 to 18 years old affected by pneumopathia received 10 mg kg-1 ketamine by rectal administration. Induction was smooth and well tolerated. From onset of effects with nystagmus to full action 9 to 25 minutes elapsed.
