TLDR
Analysis of maternal and neonatal blood samples for cholinesterase-activity determination revealed a case of hypoventilation in the newborn to be apparently secondary to succinylcholine administration to the mother during obstetric anesthesia.Abstract:

Plasma cholinesterase variants and the anaesthetist.
TL;DR: Biochemical properties of plasma cholinesterase of significance to the anaesthetist are reviewed and three new drugs are developed that target these properties.

Effects of obstetric analgesics and anesthetics on the neonate : a review.
TL;DR: Most anesthetic and analgesic agents in current use traverse the placental barrier in varying degrees, but are well tolerated by the fetus if judiciously administered, especially in conditions such as pregnancy-induced hypertension.

TL;DR: The use of a pretreatment dose of a nondepolarising neuromuscular relaxant to decrease fasciculations and subsequent postoperative muscle pain is not only unnecessary in pregnant women but may be hazardous, since it may produce unexpected significant curarisation with respiratory distress.

TL;DR: Premature infant plasma degraded procaine hydrochloride and insecticide paraoxon more slowly than full‐term infants, while the rates of hydrolysis for these 2 groups were significantly lower than those detected for children older than 1 year or for adults.
