[Personal experience with a combination of Althesin and Atarax in caesarean section]

Personal experience with an association of Althesin and hydroxyzine administered in the same syringe in the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia for caesarean section is described. The technique proved to be sound, offering safe conditions for both mother and foetus, and absence of noteworthy side-effects, and a good post-operative analgesic effect. The overall results were better than those observed when TPS is used as the inducing agent.
