Anaesthesia for carbon dioxide laser laryngeal surgery in infants. A new tracheal tube.

abstract：:Anaesthesia for fetal surgery is described as used for thirteen procedures in seven patients. Analgesia was accomplished by local infiltration of lignocaine 1% by the surgeons and small incremental doses of intravenous medication by the anaesthetist as needed to make the mother comfortable and reduce fetal movement.
