Abstract
We describe our experience and problems with 335 children who had general a naesthesia for cleft palate and lip surgery. Drawover anaesthesia using hal othane and trichloroethylene was easy to use and safe. The main early posto perative problems were airway obstruction and bleeding. Later postoperative care in the ward was hampered by the lack of nursing care and monitoring.
