چکیده

We infused lidocaine intravenously into 13 pregnant ewes at a rate sufficient to maintain plasma levels between 2-4 mugm/ml, which are those commonly seen with regional anaesthesia.

Foetal blood pressure and pulse rate remained stable as did both maternal and foetal blood gases and acid-base values.
