Summary
The long term objective is to show that intraperitoneal chloroprocaine can be used an alternative option to avoid general anesthesia during cesarean delivery, to alleviate mother's discomfort from surgical pain, reduce complications, and improve the birth experience. The objectives in this study are to determine the amount of chloroprocaine that is absorbed into the blood in order to create a plasma concentration time profile and to determine the incidence of side effects to help guide selection of an appropriate concentration for future study.
