Abstract
In addition to those children delivered by cesarean, a noticeable number of premature infants show a neonatal depression without intrauterine or neonatal acidosis. The reasons for this are only partially known. Anesthesia, on the one hand, and the underdeveloped brain, on the other hand, are held responsible. The prognosis of these children is relatively serious. On the one hand, they show a frequent incidence of neurologic disorders, or an increased rate of deformity on the other which although without immediate intrauterine consequences, will render extrauterine life substantially more difficult, if not impossible.
