Abstract

A series of eighty-one consecutive cases is reported in which continuous lumbar epidural block was performed on women in labour, prilocaine (Citanest) being the agent used. Nine cases showed cyanosis, and in seven of these spectroscopic examination of the blood showed methaemoglobinaemia. The relationship of prilocaine to aniline derivatives, known to cause methaemoglobinaemia, is mentioned.
