| Popis: | 1. 1. We have reported a syndrome composed of the following components: (a) premature labor; (b) ruptured membranes; (c) an abnormal presentation of the baby; (d) the release of the uterine contractile mechanism by spinal anesthesia. 2. 2. The abdominal wall should not be traumatized after the administration of the spinal anesthesia for fear of releasing the uterine contractile mechanism. 3. 3. Oxygen should be administered routinely to mothers receiving spinal anesthesia in order to lessen the dangers of hypoxia due to sustained uterine contractions. 4. 4. It is questionable if the lower uterine segment cesarean section should be performed when this syndrome may be encountered, and if this type of cesarean section is done, the incision should not be a transverse one. 5. 5. Multiple uterine incisions cause marked postoperative pain. |
