Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Effects on the newborn infant of thiopental and propofol used in anesthetic induction in cesarean section].
To compare the effects of an anesthetic induction dose of thiopental to that of propofol on the vitality of the neonate, as measured by Apgar score and the interval between extraction of the newborn and unassisted respiration. ⋯ If the induction-extraction interval is 10 min or less, both thiopental (4 mg/kg) and propofol (2 mg/kg) given in a single dose for induction of general anesthesia in all types of cesarean section are equally safe for the newborn infant.
