Analgesia
Methods of PAIN relief that may be used with or in place of ANALGESICS.
Analgesia, Epidural
The relief of pain without loss of consciousness through the introduction of an analgesic agent into the epidural space of the vertebral canal. It is differentiated from ANESTHESIA, EPIDURAL which refers to the state of insensitivity to sensation.
Analgesia, Obstetrical
The elimination of PAIN, without the loss of CONSCIOUSNESS, during OBSTETRIC LABOR; OBSTETRIC DELIVERY; or the POSTPARTUM PERIOD, usually through the administration of ANALGESICS.
Analgesia, Patient-Controlled
Relief of PAIN, without loss of CONSCIOUSNESS, through ANALGESIC AGENTS administered by the patients. It has been used successfully to control POSTOPERATIVE PAIN, during OBSTETRIC LABOR, after BURNS, and in TERMINAL CARE. The choice of agent, dose, and lockout interval greatly influence effectiveness. The potential for overdose can be minimized by combining small bolus doses with a mandatory interval between successive doses (lockout interval).
Analgesics, Opioid
Compounds with activity like OPIATE ALKALOIDS, acting at OPIOID RECEPTORS. Properties include induction of ANALGESIA or NARCOSIS.
Pain, Postoperative
Pain during the period after surgery.
Morphine
The principal alkaloid in opium and the prototype opiate analgesic and narcotic. Morphine has widespread effects in the central nervous system and on smooth muscle.
Pain Measurement
Scales, questionnaires, tests, and other methods used to assess pain severity and duration in patients or experimental animals to aid in diagnosis, therapy, and physiological studies.
Bupivacaine
A widely used local anesthetic agent.
Anesthetics, Local
Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate.
Acupuncture Analgesia
Analgesia produced by the insertion of ACUPUNCTURE needles at certain ACUPUNCTURE POINTS on the body. This activates small myelinated nerve fibers in the muscle which transmit impulses to the spinal cord and then activate three centers - the spinal cord, midbrain and pituitary/hypothalamus - to produce analgesia.
Fentanyl
A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1078)
Analgesics
Compounds capable of relieving pain without the loss of CONSCIOUSNESS.
Anesthesia, Epidural
Procedure in which an anesthetic is injected into the epidural space.

Drug Tolerance
Progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, resulting from its continued administration. It should be differentiated from DRUG RESISTANCE wherein an organism, disease, or tissue fails to respond to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should also be differentiated from MAXIMUM TOLERATED DOSE and NO-OBSERVED-ADVERSE-EFFECT LEVEL.
Receptors, Opioid, mu
A class of opioid receptors recognized by its pharmacological profile. Mu opioid receptors bind, in decreasing order of affinity, endorphins, dynorphins, met-enkephalin, and leu-enkephalin. They have also been shown to be molecular receptors for morphine.

Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal
Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions.They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

An intravenous anesthetic agent which has the advantage of a very rapid onset after infusion or bolus injection plus a very short recovery period of a couple of minutes. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1992, 1st ed, p206). Propofol has been used as ANTICONVULSANTS and ANTIEMETICS.
Anesthetics, Intravenous
Ultrashort-acting anesthetics that are used for induction. Loss of consciousness is rapid and induction is pleasant, but there is no muscle relaxation and reflexes frequently are not reduced adequately. Repeated administration results in accumulation and prolongs the recovery time. Since these agents have little if any analgesic activity, they are seldom used alone except in brief minor procedures. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p174)

A double-blind comparison of 0.125% ropivacaine with sufentanil and 0.125% bupivacaine with sufentanil for epidural labor analgesia. (1/577)

BACKGROUND: This study intends to evaluate the benefits of the administration of intermittent bolus doses of ropivacaine (0.125%) compared with bupivacaine (0.125%) after addition of sufentanil for analgesia during labor. METHODS: One hundred thirty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 or 2 parturients were studied. The 90 initial patients were assigned randomly to receive 10 ml bupivacaine, 0.125%, plus 7.5 microg sufentanil (initial bupivacaine 0.125% group) or ropivacaine, 0.125%, plus 7.5 microg sufentanil (ropivacaine 0.125% group). Forty additional patients were recruited and received 0.125% bupivacaine plus 7.5 microg sufentanil (additional bupivacaine 0.125% group) or 0.100% bupivacaine plus 7.5 microg sufentanil (additional bupivacaine 0.100% group). The duration of analgesia, visual analogue scores for pain, motor blockade (using a six-point modified Bromage scale), patient satisfaction scores, nausea, pruritus, heart rate, and blood pressure were recorded. RESULTS: Bupivacaine 0.125% and ropivacaine 0.125% coadministered with sufentanil provided rapid and complete analgesia. Onset of analgesia occurred after +/-15 min and lasted +/-90 min. After the third epidural injection, patients in the ropivacaine group experienced significantly less severe motor blockade than patients in the initial bupivacaine 0.125% group. At this point, 93% of the patients in the ropivacaine group were free from motor impairment versus 66% in the bupivacaine group (P<0.05). Comparable levels of motor blockade were obtained in both additional groups. Patients' evaluation of their analgesia was worst in the bupivacaine 0.100% group. CONCLUSIONS: Ropivacaine 0.125% with sufentanil affords reliable analgesia with minimal motor blockade.  (+info)

Maternal intrapartum temperature elevation as a risk factor for cesarean delivery and assisted vaginal delivery. (2/577)

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the association of intrapartum temperature elevation with cesarean delivery and assisted vaginal delivery. METHODS: Participants were 1233 nulliparous women with singleton, term pregnancies in vertex presentations who had spontaneous labors and were afebrile (temperature: 99.5 degrees F [37.5 degrees C]) at admission for delivery. Rates of cesarean and assisted vaginal deliveries according to highest intrapartum temperature were examined by epidural status. RESULTS: Women with maximum intrapartum temperatures higher than 99.5 degrees F were 3 times as likely to experience cesarean (25.2% vs 7.2%) or assisted vaginal delivery (25.2% vs 8.5%). The association was present in epidural users and nonusers and persisted after birthweight, epidural use, and labor length had been controlled. In adjusted analyses, temperature elevation was associated with a doubling in the risk of cesarean delivery (odds ratio [OR] = 2.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.5, 3.4) and assisted vaginal delivery (OR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.4, 3.1). CONCLUSIONS: Modest temperature elevation developing during labor was associated with higher rates of cesarean and assisted vaginal deliveries. More frequent temperature elevation among women with epidural analgesia may explain in part the higher rates of cesarean and assisted vaginal deliveries observed with epidural use.  (+info)

Effect of i.v. ketamine in combination with epidural bupivacaine or epidural morphine on postoperative pain and wound tenderness after renal surgery. (3/577)

We studied 60 patients undergoing operation on the kidney with combined general and epidural anaesthesia, in a double-blind, randomized, controlled study. Patients were allocated to receive a preoperative bolus dose of ketamine 10 mg i.v., followed by an i.v. infusion of ketamine 10 mg h-1 for 48 h after operation, or placebo. During the first 24 h after surgery, all patients received 4 ml h-1 of epidural bupivacaine 2.5 mg ml-1. From 24 to 48 h after operation, patients received epidural morphine 0.2 mg h-1 preceded by a bolus dose of 2 mg. In addition, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with i.v. morphine (2.5 mg, lockout time 15 min) was offered from 0 to 48 h after operation. Patients who received ketamine felt significantly more sedated at 0-24 h, but not at 24-48 h after operation, compared with patients who received placebo (P = 0.002 and P = 0.127, respectively). There were no significant differences in pain (VAS) at rest, during mobilization or cough, PCA morphine consumption, sensory block to pinprick, pressure pain detection threshold assessed with an algometer, touch and pain detection thresholds assessed with von Frey hairs, peak flow or side effects other than sedation. The power of detecting a reduction in VAS scores of 20 mm in our study was 80% at the 5% significance level. We conclude that we were unable to demonstrate an (additive) analgesic or opioid sparing effect of ketamine 10 mg h-1 i.v. combined with epidural bupivacaine at 0-24 h, or epidural morphine at 24-48 h after renal surgery.  (+info)

Neonatal outcome and mode of delivery after epidural analgesia for labour with ropivacaine and bupivacaine: a prospective meta-analysis. (4/577)

In this prospective meta-analysis, we have evaluated the effect of epidural analgesia with ropivacaine for pain in labour on neonatal outcome and mode of delivery compared with bupivacaine. In six randomized, double-blind studies, 403 labouring women, primigravidae and multiparae, received epidural analgesia with ropivacaine or bupivacaine 2.5 mg ml-1. The drugs were administered as intermittent boluses in four studies and by continuous infusion in two. Apgar scores, neurological and adaptive capacity scores (NACS), degree of motor block and mode of delivery were recorded. The studies were designed prospectively to fit meta-analysis of the pooled results. Results showed similar pain relief and consumption of the two drugs. In the vaginally delivered neonates, NACS scores were approximately equal for both groups at 2 h, but at 24 h there were fewer infants with NACS less than 35 in the ropivacaine compared with the bupivacaine group (2.8% vs 7.6%; P < 0.05). Spontaneous vaginal deliveries occurred more frequently overall with ropivacaine than with bupivacaine (58% vs 49%; P < 0.05) and instrumental deliveries (forceps and vacuum extraction) less frequently (27% vs 40%; P < 0.01), while the frequency of Caesarean section was similar between groups. The intensity of motor block was lower with ropivacaine. There were no significant differences in adverse events.  (+info)

Relative analgesic potencies of ropivacaine and bupivacaine for epidural analgesia in labor: implications for therapeutic indexes. (5/577)

BACKGROUND: The minimum local analgesic concentration (MLAC) has been defined as the median effective local analgesic concentration in a 20-ml volume for epidural analgesia in the first stage of labor. The aim of this study was to assess the relative analgesic potencies of epidural bupivacaine and ropivacaine by determining their respective minimum local analgesic concentrations. METHODS: Seventy-three parturients at < or = 7 cm cervical dilation who requested epidural analgesia were allocated to one of two groups in this double-blinded, randomized, prospective study. After a lumbar epidural catheter was placed, 20 ml of the test solution was given, either ropivacaine (n = 34) or bupivacaine (n = 39). The concentration of local anesthetic was determined by the response of the previous patient in that group to a higher or lower concentration using up-down sequential allocation. Analgesic efficacy was assessed using 100-mm visual analog pain scores with < or = 10 mm within 30 min defined as effective. An effective result directed a 0.01% wt/vol decrement for the next patient. An ineffective result directed a 0.01% wt/vol increment. RESULTS: The minimum local analgesic concentration of ropivacaine was 0.111% wt/vol (95% confidence interval, 0.100-0.122), and the minimum local analgesic concentration of bupivacaine was 0.067% wt/vol (95% confidence interval, 0.052-0.082). Ropivacaine was significantly less potent than bupivacaine, with a potency ratio of 0.6 (95% confidence interval, 0.49-0.74). No difference in motor effects was observed. CONCLUSION: Ropivacaine was significantly less potent than bupivacaine for epidural analgesia in the first stage of labor.  (+info)

Lumbar sympathetic blocks speed early and second stage induced labor in nulliparous women. (6/577)

BACKGROUND: Rapid cervical dilation reportedly accompanies lumbar sympathetic blockade, whereas epidural analgesia is associated with slow labor. The authors compared the effects of initial lumbar sympathetic block with those of epidural analgesia on labor speed and delivery mode in this pilot study. METHODS: At a hospital not practicing active labor management, full-term nulliparous patients whose labors were induced randomly received initial lumbar sympathetic block or epidural analgesia. The latter patients received 10 ml bupivacaine, 0.125%; 50 microg fentanyl; and 100 microg epinephrine epidurally and sham lumbar sympathetic blocks. Patients to have lumbar sympathetic blocks received 10 ml bupivacaine, 0.5%; 25 microg fentanyl; and 50 microg epinephrine bilaterally and epidural catheters. Subsequently, all patients received epidural analgesia. RESULTS: Cervical dilation occurred more quickly (57 vs. 120 min/cm cervical dilation; P = 0.05) during the first 2 h of analgesia in patients having lumbar sympathetic blocks (n = 17) than in patients having epidurals (n = 19). The second stage of labor was briefer in patients having lumbar sympathetic blocks than in those having epidurals (105 vs. 270 min; P < 0.05). Nine patients having lumbar sympathetic block and seven having epidurals delivered spontaneously, whereas seven patients having lumbar sympathetic block and seven having epidurals had instrument-assisted vaginal deliveries. Cesarean delivery for fetal bradycardia occurred in one patient having lumbar sympathetic block. Cesarean delivery for dystocia occurred in five patients having epidurals compared with no patient having lumbar sympathetic block (P = not significant). Visual analog pain scores differed only at 60 min after block. CONCLUSIONS: Nulliparous parturients having induced labor and receiving initial lumbar sympathetic blocks had faster cervical dilation during the first 2 h of analgesia, shorter second-stage labors, and a trend toward a lower dystocia cesarean delivery rate than did patients having epidural analgesia. The effects of lumbar sympathetic block on labor need to be determined in other patient groups. These results may help define the tocodynamic effects of regional labor analgesia.  (+info)

Continuous epidural infusion of ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia after major abdominal surgery: comparative study with i.v. PCA morphine. (7/577)

We have compared the quality of three regimens of postoperative analgesia (continuous epidural administration of ropivacaine (Ropi. group), epidural ropivacaine and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with i.v. morphine (Ropi. + PCA group) and PCA morphine alone (PCA group)) during the first postoperative 24 h in a multicentre, randomized, prospective study. Postoperative analgesia was studied in 130 patients after major abdominal surgery performed under general anaesthesia. The ropivacaine groups received 20 ml of epidural bolus ropivacaine 2 mg ml-1 via the epidural route at the end of surgery, followed by continuous infusion of 10 ml h-1 for 24 h. The Ropi. + PCA group also had access to i.v. PCA morphine 1 mg, with a 5-min lockout. The PCA group received morphine as the sole postoperative pain treatment. The two ropivacaine groups had lower pain scores (P < 0.01) than the PCA group. Morphine consumption was higher in the PCA group (P < 0.05) than in the two ropivacaine groups. The quality of pain relief was rated as good or excellent in 79-85% of patients in the three groups. The percentage of patients without motor block increased between 4 and 24 h from 61% to 89% in the Ropi. group, and from 51% to 71% in the Ropi. + PCA group.  (+info)

Epidural analgesia with bupivacaine does not improve splanchnic tissue perfusion after aortic reconstruction surgery. (8/577)

Inadequate splanchnic tissue perfusion is relatively common during and after aortic surgery. We hypothesized that vasodilation caused by thoracic epidural analgesia improves splanchnic blood flow and tissue perfusion after aortic surgery. In this prospective, randomized, controlled study, we studied 20 patients undergoing elective aortic-femoral or aortic-iliac reconstruction surgery. Gastric and sigmoid colon mucosal PCO2 and pH were measured during surgery. An epidural bolus of bupivacaine 40 mg followed by infusion of 15 mg h-1 was started after operation in 10 patients. After operation, splanchnic blood flow and gastric and sigmoid colon mucosal PCO2 and pH were measured before and 2 h after the start of epidural analgesia. During surgery, the gastric mucosal-arterial PCO2 difference remained stable, whereas the sigmoid mucosal-arterial PCO2 difference increased during aortic clamping but returned to pre-clamping values after declamping. After operation, epidural analgesia had no effect on gastric or sigmoid mucosal-arterial PCO2 differences or on splanchnic blood flow.  (+info)

Effect of Epidural Analgesia on Some Maternal and Fetal Parameters in Pre-Eclampsia. M.Yousri Amin, A.Salam, M.Metwally : Alexandria University , EGYPT. continuous Epidural Analgesia (EA) during labor of pre-eclamptic (P-E) patients has been recommended by several authors. Belief in improved renal function via relief of renal vasospasm, control of blood pressure, excellent analgesia and less infant depression form the basis of such recommendation.In opposition, many clinician consider conduction analgesia to be not recommended in P-E because of deceased blood volume might make them more vulnerable to hypotension.In this study we investigated the effect of continuous EA on maternal hemodynamics, renal function, and acid base balance in P-E , also, its effect on fetal heart rate(FHR) during labor.Patients and methods:Twenty P-E parturient were prepared for labor induction. Central venous catheter was placed via subclavian, lumbar epidural catheter was placed. 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine were ...

This article undertakes a systemic review of the evidence of benefit or harm of continuous epidural analgesia (CEA) vs other analgesic interventions from RCTs in patients with traumatic rib fractures as of July 2014. It uses the guidelines recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration . Overall it included six trials including 223 patients, and determined that in these studies there was currently no evidence of statistical difference in outcomes of mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation or pneumonia between CEA and other analgesic interventions. It pointed out that the included trials showed a potential for a high risk of bias. The analysis showed that the amount of information currently available to accurately determine whether there is a clinical benefit or harm with the use of continuous epidural analgesia vs other analgesic techniques (such as systemic opioids, paravertebral block etc) is inadequate and that a good quality large RCT is required in this patient population to provide ...

Several studies have shown that TEA is very effective in ensuring appropriate pain control following thoracic surgery, and some authors consider this anaesthesic technique to be the gold standard for postoperative analgesia following thoracic interventions.8-12 ,16 Since lateral thoracotomy may be more painful than mid-sternotomy due to rib spreading and intercostal nerve injury,17 optimization of postoperative analgesia might be even more important in such cases. Nonetheless, the use of TEA in patients undergoing TA-TAVI has been limited to a single case report,12 and no studies, to date, have evaluated the efficacy and safety of this technique of anaesthesia in this setting. The present study showed that TEA was highly effective in providing postoperative analgesia following TA-TAVI. About 50% of the patients treated with TEA experienced either no pain or only minimal pain within the first 48 h following the procedure, and ,90% at later time-points, and these pain score levels were far lower ...

Part of the inconsistency with motor blockade results between studies is due to the fact that the qualitative Bromage score is not ideal for assessing motor blockade in laboring patients. Graham and McClure [19] demonstrate that laboring patients with epidural analgesia may have a quantitative decrease in adductor strength despite having a Bromage score of 0. Motor blockade due to epidural labor analgesia is thought to impair a womens ability to push in stage 2. While we did not see a significant difference in Bromage scores between groups, the obstetric providers felt that 8 patients in the PIEB group 10q60 had motor blockade as demonstrated by the inability to effectively push in stage 2. This finding demonstrates that Bromage scores may not be ideal for assessing motor blockade in laboring patients. All patients with a perceived motor block and an inability to effectively push during the second stage successfully delivered vaginally after the epidural pump was turned off. One of these ...

Our data offer little encouragement to those who wish to improve cardiac outcome after PVS by providing postoperative epidural analgesia. Within the epidural group, 40% received 3 mg in 10 ml epidural morphine during surgery. Generally, a second bolus was given immediately before catheter removal at 24 h after surgery. Therefore, epidural analgesia would have been expected to be in the range of 36-48 h. This is well into the period when poor cardiac outcome becomes evident. The myocardial infarction rate for the epidural morphine group was 4.9% versus 3.6% and 3.7%, respectively, for the patients who received general or spinal, both with postoperative parenteral opioids. As we pointed out in our discussion of these results, patients undergoing lower extremity PVS probably do not experience the same intensity of postoperative pain as do patients undergoing other types of surgery, such as intraabdominal procedures. Any beneficial effects of postoperative epidural analgesia may, therefore, be ...

It was also hoped that the opioid-related side effects of nausea, vomiting, pruritus, sedation and respiratory depression could be reduced. However, all of these side effects can occur as well as two additional ones, urinary retention and late onset respiratory depression.. The specific benefits for epidural analgesia are particularly attractive and relevant in some subgroups of patients such as the elderly, the obese or those with chronic respiratory disease. An effective epidural will enable a patient to deep breathe, cough and move with ease. This in turn facilitates a more speedy recovery with a reduction in co-morbidities such as chest infections and deep. Results of studies are inconsistent and must be interpreted cautiously; it is difficult to show a benefit in low-risk patients. At least one study has shown a shorter hospital stay and reduced morbidity in morbidly obese patients who received epidural opioids postoperatively [2]. The effects on the metabolic stress response (increase of ...

Effects of preemptive epidural analgesia on post-thoracotomy pain
Six RCTs with a total of 458 patients were included in the review. Five RCTs were included in the meta-analyses (n=355 with adequate data). In terms of study quality, 4 studies reported prior power analysis, two reported adequate allocation concealment, five were at least double-blinded and three used intention-to-treat analysis. One study reported no exclusions from analysis; rates of exclusion from analysis in the other 5 studies ranged from 17 to 23.6%.. Acute pain at rest at 24 hours post-surgery (5 studies).. There was no significant difference between interventions in acute pain at rest at 24 hours (WMD -0.27, 95% CI: -0.91, 0.37; favours preemptive TEA). A sixth study, which could not be pooled, also showed no significant difference between the groups. Statistically significant heterogeneity between the studies was detected (I-squared 98.6%). The results of the analysis were not changed by the exclusion of a study in which no opioid was used.. Acute pain at rest at 48 hours post-surgery ...

Epidural analgesiaEpidural analgesia
Occasionally painkillers may be given by infusion into the space just outside the membranes surrounding the spinal cord. This is known as epidural analgesia. Sometimes the painkiller is given into the fluid around the spinal cord -- this is known as intrathecal analgesia. These specialised techniques are usually used only to control severe pain and are managed by anaesthetists.. If you need to have your painkillers by injection or infusion, your doctor or nurse will discuss this with you.. Please see our leaflet on Strong Painkillers for more information.. ...

Epidurals for pain relief in labour | CochraneEpidurals for pain relief in labour | Cochrane
We included 38 studies involving 9658 women; all but five studies compared epidural analgesia with opiates. Epidural analgesia was found to offer better pain relief (mean difference (MD) -3.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) -5.41 to -1.31, three trials, 1166 women); a reduction in the need for additional pain relief (risk ratio (RR) 0.05, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.17, 15 trials, 6019 women); a reduced risk of acidosis (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68 to 0.94, seven trials, 3643 women); and a reduced risk of naloxone administration (RR 0.15, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.23, 10 trials, 2645 women). However, epidural analgesia was associated with an increased risk of assisted vaginal birth (RR 1.42, 95% CI 1.28 to 1.57, 23 trials, 7935 women), maternal hypotension (RR 18.23, 95% CI 5.09 to 65.35, eight trials, 2789 women), motor-blockade (RR 31.67, 95% CI 4.33 to 231.51, three trials, 322 women), maternal fever (RR 3.34, 95% CI 2.63 to 4.23, six trials, 2741 women), urinary retention (RR 17.05, 95% CI 4.82 to 60.39, three trials, ...

2018 Abstract Details - SOAP2018 Abstract Details - SOAP
Numerous study designs, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), before-and-after studies, and observational studies with concurrent controls (analyzed by propensity scores), have asked whether labor epidural analgesia (LEA) influences the probability of Cesarean section (C/S). One limitation of the RCTs is the high rate of crossovers in many of these studies. In contrast to our previous analysis, a recent RCT meta-analysis using instrumental variables to adjust for crossovers [1] concluded that LEA increased the probability of C/S. To further investigate this topic, we updated a previous analysis based on the paired availability design (PAD), a meta-analysis of before-and-after studies adjusted for different availabilities of treatment [3]. The revised PAD (with 1 additional study and modified data extractions) yielded similar results as before, namely no effect of epidural analgesia on the probability of C/S (Figure 1). We also updated our previous meta-analysis of randomized trials ...

Background: In this systematic review and meta-analysis we evaluate the evidence for seven risk factors associated with failed conversion of labor epidural analgesia to cesarean delivery anesthesia. Methods: Multiple scientific literature databases from January 1979 to May 2011 were searched to identify observational trials that evaluated risk factors for failed conversion of epidural analgesia to anesthesia or documented a failure rate resulting in general anesthesia. Results: Of 1450 trials screened, 13 trials were included for review (n = 8384). Three factors increase the risk for failed conversion: an increasing number of clinician-administered boluses during labor (OR = 3.17, 95% CI 1.83 to 5.46), a greater urgency for cesarean delivery, and a non-obstetric anesthesiologist providing care (OR = 4.56, 95% CI 1.81 to 11.54). Insufficient evidence is available to support CSE versus standard epidural techniques, duration of epidural analgesia, cervical dilation at the time of epidural placement ...

An epidural catheter was used to provide perioperative analgesia as part of a multimodal balanced anaesthesia and analgesia in a mare undergoing a bilateral mastectomy. Despite development of severe hypoxaemia during anaesthesia, recovery from anaesthesia was uneventful. Oral administration of a NSAID combined with administration of xylazine and morphine by an epidural catheter resulted in adequate postoperative pain relief, based on assessment of physiological parameters and behaviour. Neither complications nor side effects were observed during hospitalisation. ...

Wee Peek Prenatal Imaging | Epidurals in LaborWee Peek Prenatal Imaging | Epidurals in Labor
Epidural analgesia involves an injection into the lower back that pierces the outer coverings (epi-dura) of the spinal cord. Drugs are injected close to the nerves as they come out from the spinal cord. Usually this involves a local anaesthetic (LA) drug such as bupivacaine, along with an opiate drug (related to morphine, pethidine/meperidine etc) such as Fentanyl. Epidurals are used in many types of surgery and procedures, and also sometimes administered to receive pain outside of childbirth.. How do epidurals work?. Just like a dental anaesthetic, LA drugs block the sensory nerves, causing numbness, and also inevitably block the motor nerves, giving some degree of paralysis. Opiate drugs are added to an epidural to increase the effectiveness of the LA, so that there will be good pain relief with less motor block.. What are the benefits of epidurals?. Obviously, the main benefit of an epidural is the very effective pain relief that most women experience. Because of this effective ...

In general, your choice of where you deliver will be linked to your care provider. The majority of physicians take care of women in a hospital setting, where most birth in the US take place. Midwives also take care of women in a hospital setting, although they also deliver babies in birthing center.. Hospital birth. There are three potential advantages to choosing deliver in a hospital. First, if you are among the 30-40 percent of women over 35 who require a cesarean delivery, there will be no need for you to be moved from home or the birthing center. Although most cesarean deliveries are not urgent, in which case the delay will not cause you or your baby any harm, in an obstetric emergencies, time can be of the essence. The second advantage is that you will have more pain control options. Although many first time mothers wish to avoid epidural analgesia, you may not know what type of pain relief you want until you are actually in labor. If you are highly motivate to avoid an epidural analgesia, ...

Slows down the progress of labor. There is some discussion among doctors, midwives, and childbirth educators about the validity of this statement. There have been many studies supporting the theory that epidurals can slow down labor, especially in the second stage (pushing), which may result in the need for pitocin to help regain adequate contractions. A study from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rambam Medical Center, Technion-Faculty of Medicine, Haifa, Israel, concluded Women should be informed that prolongation of labor and increase in nonspontaneous deliveries should be expected when choosing epidural analgesia in labor.. Difficulty Pushing With an epidural or without, I recommend laboring down which means: even once the cervix if fully dilated to 10cm, wait until you have the urge to push before starting the second stage of labor - the pushing stage.

The most common side effect of pain medicines and anesthesia is drowsiness. Your child may sleep more than usual after surgery because of the pain medicine, and because sleep is the bodys way of healing itself. The nurse will be checking to see how easily your child wakes up.. Other possible side effects are slow breathing, nausea (upset stomach), vomiting (throwing up), and itching. Medicines may be given to your child to help with any nausea, vomiting, or itching. Your child will be on monitors so that the nurses can watch the breathing rate and oxygen saturation.. Some children have numbness or tingling, especially in their legs. If your child has this feeling, tell your nurse. Although it is usually temporary, your nurse will check your child. A nurse will help your child the first time he or she gets out of bed. Sometimes a change in the medicine dose can decrease the numbness.. ...

The review identified 38 randomised controlled studies involving 9658 women. All but five studies compared epidural analgesia with opiates. Epidurals relieved labour pain better than other types of pain medication but led to more use of instruments to assist with the birth. Caesarean delivery rates did not differ overall and nor were there effects of the epidural on the baby soon after birth; fewer babies needed a drug (naloxone) to counter opiate use by the mother for pain relief. The risk of caesarean section for fetal distress was increased. Women who used epidurals were more likely to have a longer delivery (second stage of labour), needed their labour contractions stimulated with oxytocin, experienced very low blood pressure, were unable to move for a period of time after the birth (motor blockage), had problems passing urine (fluid retention) and suffered fever. Long-term backache was no different. Further research on reducing the adverse outcomes with epidurals would be helpful. ...

Labor Pain and AnalgesiaLabor Pain and Analgesia
The advantages of epidural analgesia include avoidance of hyperventilation, reduced maternal catecholamines, and the ability to alter the level of analgesia (including a T4 level if necessary for Cesarean section). Prior to initiating epidural analgesia, it is critical that resuscitation equipment be available. Extra-thecal placement is confirmed with 45 mg lidocaine or 7.5 mg bupivacaine (neither of which should produce a spinal if injected extra-thecally). For intravascular testing, negative aspiration was shown to be relatively reliable in testing a multiorifice epidural catheter, detecting 47 of 48 intravascular catheters in one study [Norris MC et al. Anesth Analg 88: 1076, 1999; FREE Full-text at Anesthesia & Analgesia]. Given the success of negative aspiration, the use of epinephrine for this purpose is discouraged in the pregnant patient, as false positives sometimes occur [Mulroy M and Glosten B. Anesth Analg 86: 923, 1998] and there is a theoretical possibility of reducing ...

Im the Mom, its my job to make informed decisions
Researchers have linked epidural anesthesia to assisted delivery, or the use of forceps or vacuum extraction during the pushing portion of labor (Torvaldsen, S., Roberts, C.L., Bell, J.C., Raynes-Greenow, C.H. Discontinuation of epidural analgesia late in labour for reducing the adverse delivery outcomes associated with epidural analgesia. Cochrane Database Systematic Review. 2004 Oct 18;(4):CD004457.). Researchers also find that 88% of women who requested an epidural for pain in one study reported being less satisfied with their childbirth experience than those who did not, despite lower pain intensity. Pre-labor survey results suggest that concerns about epidurals and their effect on the baby, greater than anticipated labor pain, perceived failure of requesting an epidural, and longer duration of labor may have accounted for these findings.( Kannan, S., Jamison, R.N., Datta, S.

A multicentre, randomised controlled trial of position during the late stages of labour in nulliparous women with an epidural:...
BACKGROUND: Epidural analgesia leads to increased risk of instrumental vaginal delivery (IVD). There is debate about whether or not posture in second-stage labour influences the incidence of spontaneous vaginal birth (SVB). OBJECTIVES: In nulliparous women with epidural analgesia, does a policy of adopting an upright position throughout second-stage labour increase the incidence of SVB compared with a policy of adopting a lying-down position? DESIGN: Two-arm randomised controlled trial. SETTING: Maternity units in England and Wales. PARTICIPANTS: Nulliparous women aged ≥ 16 years, at ≥ 37 weeks gestation with singleton cephalic presentation and intended SVB, in second-stage labour with an epidural providing effective pain relief. INTERVENTIONS: (1) Upright position to maintain the pelvis in as vertical a plane as possible; and (2) lying-down position to maintain the pelvis in as horizontal a plane as possible. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome measure was incidence of SVB. Secondary

Epidurals Dont Slow LaborEpidurals Dont Slow Labor
HealthNewsDigest.com) - BOSTON - Epidural analgesia - a mix of anesthetics and narcotics delivered by catheter placed close to the nerves of the spine - is the most effective method of labor pain relief. In widespread use since the 1970s, epidurals have long been thought to slow the second stage of labor - defined as beginning when the cervix is completely dilated and ending when the baby is delivered. Because a longer duration of this stage of labor is associated with adverse outcomes, obstetricians routinely reduce or discontinue epidural pain management in an effort to expedite this main stage of labor.. That practice could be out-of-date and misguided, according to research led by scientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). A paper published today in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology demonstrated that epidural medication had no effect on the duration of the second stage of labor, normal vaginal delivery rate, incidence of episiotomy, the position of the fetus at birth or ...

Childbirth and Labor Pain Management
An epidural involves the continuous delivery of pain-relieving medication to nerves within the epidural space of the spinal column. At SSH, almost all epidural pain relief is delivered using the PCEA technique.. The attending obstetrician or midwife determines the appropriate timing of the epidural placement (usually after the cervix has dilated to four or more centimeters). An anesthesiologist will be consulted to assess the mother and place the epidural.. The epidural is placed using a needle and catheter. Once the catheter is in proper position, the needle is removed. The small catheter is then secured to the patients back. The catheter is connected to a small programmable PCEA pump.. PCEA, or Patient Controlled Epidural Anesthesia, combines the PCA and Epidural Analgesia techniques. The programmable PCEA pump delivers a continuous infusion of pain-relieving medication and allows the patient to self-administer extra medication (a bolus). The device is programmed so that the patient CANNOT ...

Midwifery Ramblings: Why Epidurals ARENT Gods Gift to WomenMidwifery Ramblings: Why Epidurals ARENT Gods Gift to Women
9. Epidurals confine you to bed, which can lead to a malpositioned baby. God designed our pelvis to be mobile, and this helps *tremendously* during labor. Through remaining mobile, we are able to help the baby rotate into optimal position for birth. In the absense of mobility, the pelvis can become stiff, and not respond to labor/pushing as it should. Epidurals also often come with the doctor artificially breaking the amniotic sac, which in turn helps to create or cement a malpositioned baby ...

The course of the pregnancy was normal, as could be expected, because replacement therapy with close monitoring was provided. 7 Termination of pregnancy was decided on the 38th week, because of mild oligohydramnios and the convenience of scheduling labor for adequate management of steroid replacement. Cesarean section was indicated because of strict obstetrical reasons. Anesthesiologic management of these patients with panhypopituitarism have to consider maternal and newborn factors. Epidural analgesia provides the best control of pain along labor, has potential physiological advantages, and offers flexibility to meet the needs of varied obstetric procedures (spontaneous vaginal or forceps delivery, cesarean section). 8 In our case, the avoidance of the adrenergic stimuli of general anesthesia was a further advantage.. Continuous perfusion of 0.0625% bupivacaine in addition to fentanyl epidural has been shown to improve onset and quality of analgesia during labor induced with oxytocin, without ...

Pediatric Drug Labeling: Still an Unfinished Need : Anesthesia & AnalgesiaPediatric Drug Labeling: Still an Unfinished Need : Anesthesia & Analgesia
Appearing in this issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia are 2 clinical manuscripts reporting hospital audits of the use of sedative, analgesic, and anesthetic medications in children. The authors of these reports used robust databases to examine pediatric pharmacology prescribing in the inpatient environment. Although drug labeling for use in the pediatric population may be improving, the results from these investigations suggest a substantial use of agents off-label in children. This practice is quite common and considered superior to denying children the benefits of these agents in the practice of anesthesiology.. In their report, Lasky et al. reveal the prevalence of use of specific medications among hospitalized children in 2008.1 Their dataset includes greater than 875,000 hospitalized children admitted to 423 hospitals that participated. The analysis included ,12 million drug administrations to children from birth to age 18 years. They analyze and report the frequency of use of specific ...

  • CONCLUSION Physicians practising modern obstetrics in rural and small urban centres might find single-dose ITN a useful alternative to parenteral or epidural analgesia for appropriately selected patients. (cfp.ca)
  • Can ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block replace thoracic epidural analgesia for postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing thoracotomy? (annals.in)
  • We studied the analgesic efficacy of unilateral continuous ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) compared to a thoracic epidural in pediatric patients undergoing thoracotomy. (annals.in)
  • We randomly assigned patients into two groups: The thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) group received GA with an epidural catheter. (annals.in)
  • This study shows that the ESPB provides similar postoperative analgesia to the TEA in pediatric patients undergoing thoracotomy. (annals.in)
  • Patients of the first group also were administered epidural analgesia and parenteral nutrition in the early postoperative period (from the first day) was prescribed. (org.ua)
  • Taking into account the fact that it is the cellular link of the immune system that plays the main role in the implementation of the antitumor immune response, providing the overall antitumor resistance of the organism, it seems promising to use the epidural block and early parenteral nutrition in patients operated on advanced bladder cancer. (org.ua)
  • Notably, obstetricians requested that epidural infusion be stopped in 49 patients -- 22 from the placebo group and 27 from the epidural group. (medpagetoday.com)
  • Patients who received epidural analgesia exhibited fewer complications than patients who received only analgosedation (Bardia et al. (sonosite.com)
  • The records of twelve matched patients who had the same operations without PICB were reviewed to compare analgesia and opioid consumption. (researchsquare.com)
  • However, changes in the epidural space that occur during pregnancy, as well as differences between the morphology of the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine, make these studies inapplicable to nonobstetric patients receiving an epidural at the thoracic intervertebral levels. (hindawi.com)
  • Following approval from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Institutional Review Board, we retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who had epidurals placed between the T3 and T12 intervertebral levels by 1 of 2 providers at MD Anderson between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2011. (hindawi.com)
  • A total of 60 patients that received intestinal cancer surgery under combined general/epidural anesthesia were treated and evaluated in this study. (healthcmi.com)
Fetal1
  • Epidural analgesia may also increase intervention for fetal distress. (afar.info)
Multimodal analgesia2
  • As a part of multimodal analgesia, many regional blocks have been described. (annals.in)
  • 2013). Dexmedetomidine, an alpha 2 antagonist and a potent anxiolytic, is another drug that ICU clinicians should consider within the multimodal analgesia approach. (sonosite.com)
Methods4
  • METHODS: We performed a computer-assisted MEDLINE search for articles and a review of bibliographies from articles on epidural analgesia. (afar.info)
  • In Western cultures, epidural analgesia (EA), as well as a number of other methods, is widely used, and its benefits (and risks) are well documented. (amsj.org)
  • Narcotics delivered by spinal or epidural methods function at the same site in the spinal cord. (cfp.ca)
  • Previous studies have used varying methods to estimate the depth of the epidural space prior to placement of an epidural catheter. (hindawi.com)
Placement6
  • and 2,045 g, Apgar scores 8/9/9) under epidural analgesia with placement of a urinary catheter. (cdc.gov)
  • Correct placement of an epidural catheter into the epidural space using the loss of resistance (LOR) technique is a difficult skill to teach because it is performed "blind" and anatomical variations can lead to the identification of false LOR. (hindawi.com)
  • however, estimation of SES in this model is dependent on the angle of needle insertion, which would not be known prior to epidural placement [ 5 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • also proposed a CT-based prediction model for epidural placement at the T10-T11 interspace using the paramedian approach, but the clinical relevance of this model is minimized by the fact that the model assumes a constant angle of needle insertion [ 6 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • The caudally angled spinous processes at the thoracic vertebral level make placement of a thoracic epidural more challenging. (hindawi.com)
  • We also noted the epidural placement approach (midline or paramedian) and the LOR to the nearest half centimeter as reported by the attending anesthesiologist performing the epidural. (hindawi.com)
Dural puncture2
  • The insertion of the epidural catheter can be complicated by unintentional dural puncture that may result in postdural puncture headache. (medrxiv.org)
  • Cases were women who received epidural analgesia and sustained an unintentional dural puncture and controls were women who received epidural analgesia but did not sustain such complication. (medrxiv.org)
Lidocaine1
  • In France, the latest recommendations date from 2007 and recommend the practice of epidural extension with 15 to 20 ml of 2% adrenaline lidocaine. (centerwatch.com)
Analgesic1
  • Pre-emptive analgesia is a treatment whereby a preoperative analgesic regimen is introduced to reduce noxious stimuli in the surgical process. (healthcmi.com)
Anesthesiology1
  • Epidural blockade is becoming one of the most useful and versatile procedures in modern anesthesiology. (ispub.com)
Paravertebral1
  • Conclusions: In this anatomical study, PICB at the 2nd and 4th ICS produced lateral spread along the corresponding intercostal space, medial spread to the adjacent paravertebral/epidural space and cranio-caudal spread along the endothoracic fascial plane. (researchsquare.com)
Nerve1
  • Options for analgesia may be non-pharmacological, such as massage, breathing exercises and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which have limited evidence of efficacy but appear to improve satisfaction with the childbirth experience (compared to placebo). (amsj.org)
Sufentanil1
  • Epidural analgesia with sufentanil in relation to OPRM1 and ABCB1 polymorphisms. (cdc.gov)
Clinical2
  • 2016). Clinical evidence shows that epidural analgesia can decrease mortality, complications, and morbidity after surgery. (sonosite.com)
  • The goals of this study were to examine the anatomical spread of PICB injectate and explore its translation into clinical analgesia after breast surgery. (researchsquare.com)
