The place of apomorphine prior to obstetric analgesia

J D Holdsworth. J Int Med Res. 1978.

Abstract

The use of apomorphine is investigated as an alternative to the use of a stomach tube to empty the stomachs of patients in labour prior to the induction of general anaesthesia. Apomorphine was found to be much pleasanter for the patients, to be just as effective as a stomach tube and to have no deleterious effects on the infant.
