HILE NORMAL LABOR and many obstetrical opera-itons can be conducted under intermittent or continuousanalgesia or light anaesthesia, some procedures absolutelyrequire complete surgical narcosis. Consequently itwould seem advisable to enlarge on the technique of ni-trous oxide-oxygen anaesthesia, before proceeding further. Nitrous Oxide-Oxygen Obstetrical Anaesthesia.—In ih lastanalysis successful nitrous oxide-oxygen obstetrical anaesthesia depends on theadministration of such a proportionate mixture of the gases as will effect com-plete anaesthesia and sufficient relaxation, without untoward complications. There are a few elements in the administration of nitrous oxide-oxygenanaesthesia, which are of such fundamental importance that uniform successcannot be obtained without their guidance. The condition of the patient as to the state of anaesthesia is controlledentirely by the mixture administe
