Summary

The investigators describe a simple and efficient method to give a premedication in the delivery room, using the umbilical vein, directly punctured through Wharton's jelly.

Detailed description

The umbilical vein is punctured to inject drugs efficiently. The access is simple, the umbilical vein is clearly visible, and a blood reflux can be found easily. The investigators used the same equipment required for a peripheral venous injection: 24 gauge cannula, antisepsis, compress, and a syringe with the prepared anesthetic drugs. The investigators report 5 cases of intubations in the delivery room using this method to administer the premedication.
