[A case report of caesarian section carred out under electroanasthesia (authors transl)]

The case is reported of a 19 year-old patient in whom Caesarian section was successfully performed under combined method of anaesthesia. Square waves, which consist of high frequency impulses were transmitted to the cerebrum, and in addition, a 50:50 nitrous oxide and oxygen gas mixture was administered to the patient. The intraoperative condition of the patient was satisfactory. No reactions to pain were seen, as judged from constant observation of the blood pressure, pulse rate, colour of the face, pupils and the condition of the body extremities.
