ANALGESIA IN INSTRUMENTAL VAGINAL DELIVERY BY THE INTERMITTENT SELF-ADMINISTRATION OF METHOXYFLURANE USING A DISPOSABLE VAPORIZER

M. E. FIELDING and D. J. HURRY

The Brighton Group of Hospitals, Sussex, England.

The self-administration of methoxyflurane using a disposable plastic inhaler has been examined as a method for providing analgesia for instrumental vaginal deliveries. The obstetric procedures included difficult forceps deliveries, breeches and complicated twins. Methoxyflurane is considered to be a valuable addition to the armamentarium of the obstetrician. In association with local anaesthetic techniques it is possible to consider avoiding general anaesthesia for some complicated vaginal deliveries.

Present address: King's College Hospital; Denmark Hill, London, S.E.5.
