Abstract

Thiopentone, pentobarbitone, diazepam and alphaxolone-alphadolone were evaluated as anaesthetic agents in pregnant mice. Incidence of mortality was: Thiopentone 15%, pentobarbitone 13%, diazepam 8%, and alphaxolone-alphadolone 0%. Besides the low mortality, alphaxolone-alphadolone also distinguished by showing no side-effeets at all, neither to the dams nor to the fetuses, and it is recommended as an excellent anaesthetic in pregnant mice.
