[Sodium, potassium and acid-base values of mother and newborn, following delivery by caesarean section under sombrevin (propanidid) anaesthesia (author's transl)].

Acid-base and electrolyte values of 24 newborns delivered by caesarean section are reported in this paper. Anaesthesia had been introduced by sombrevin-succinylcholine. No metabolic acidosis, which might have been attributable to sombrevin action, was recordable from any of the newborns. Acid-base values were normal, and somewhat increased potassium values returned to normal, soon.
