to the anesthetic solution. Findings were that high subarachnoid block produces hypotension, a decrease in stroke volume and cardiac output, and minimal decrease in peripheral resistance. High epidural block produces the same changes as high subarachnoid block but they are not as marked. High epidural block with epinephrine shows hypotension similar to the other two modalities but with delayed onset. However, cardiac output heart rate and stroke volume al1 increase whiIe there is a marked decrease in peripheral resistance.

x-ray changes in the long bones. Viral studies on 11 of the patients revealed viruses present in the urine up to 8 weeks after birth, in the throat up to 2 weeks, and in the rectum up to 9 days. One nurse caring for these infants developed the disease. Their conclusion is that infants with congenital rubella syndrome must be considered to have a transplacental disease which is contagious.

Greiss and Crandell: Therapy for Hypotension Induced by Spinal Anesthesia During Pregnancy, p. 793. In 21 term gravid ewes, the authors found that induced maternal hypotension during actual and simulated spinal anesthesia was associated with proportionate decrease in uterine blood flow (UBF). However the effect of various vasopressors on mean blood pressure (MBP) was not the same as the effect on UBF whereas volume expanders had paraIle1 effects. Levarterenol, phenylephrine, and angiotensin all were effective in raising MBP; however, simultaneous recording of UBF revealed no concomitant increase. On the other hand, 5 per cent dextrose in water and 6 per cent dextran in saline produced proportionate increases in both UBF and MBP. These results suggest that the use of vasopressers in spinal or caudal hypotension should be replaced by volume expanders and other measures designed to improve circulating blood volume.
