[Uterine contractile activity in the postoperative period depending on the type of anesthesia]

The functional state of the uterus was studied on 75 parturients, divided into the following groups: a control group of 20 women with normal delivery, first group of 35 parturients with cesarean section anaesthetized by the method of ataralgesia and second group of 20 parturients with cesarean section anaesthetized by the method of neuroleptanaesthesia. The level of the enzyme oxytocinase was determined in sera of parturients. Contractile activity of the uterus during the postoperative period did not depend on the type of anaesthesia. It was established statistically significantly (p less than 0.05) that the combination (metacine, dimidrol, droperidol and phentanyl)--second group, had inhibitory effect on the efficient and rhythmic activity of the uterus in comparison with parturients of the first group (alcosine, diazepam and phentanyl).
