The authors investigated the relationship between neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia and the administering of drugs to mothers during labor and delivery in 756 A.G.A. regular pregnancy born. Findings point out a statistically significant relationship (P less than 0,05) between all drugs administered to mothers, general anesthesia included, and the presence of jaundice in newborn. Authors recommend administration of drugs to women in labor and in delivery only if strictly necessary.
