Anesthesia, Obstetrical: A variety of anesthetic methods such as EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA used to control the pain of childbirth.Anesthesiology: A specialty concerned with the study of anesthetics and anesthesia.Biometric Identification: A method of differentiating individuals based on the analysis of qualitative or quantitative biological traits or patterns. This process which has applications in forensics and identity theft prevention includes DNA profiles or DNA fingerprints, hand fingerprints, automated facial recognition, iris scan, hand geometry, retinal scan, vascular patterns, automated voice pattern recognition, and ultrasound of fingers.Cesarean Section: Extraction of the FETUS by means of abdominal HYSTEROTOMY.Computer Security: Protective measures against unauthorized access to or interference with computer operating systems, telecommunications, or data structures, especially the modification, deletion, destruction, or release of data in computers. It includes methods of forestalling interference by computer viruses or so-called computer hackers aiming to compromise stored data.Analgesia: Methods of PAIN relief that may be used with or in place of ANALGESICS.GermanyPregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.Anesthesia: A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.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.Anesthesia and Analgesia: Medical methods of either relieving pain caused by a particular condition or removing the sensation of pain during a surgery or other medical procedure.Lumbosacral Region: Region of the back including the LUMBAR VERTEBRAE, SACRUM, and nearby structures.Nerve Block: Interruption of NEURAL CONDUCTION in peripheral nerves or nerve trunks by the injection of a local anesthetic agent (e.g., LIDOCAINE; PHENOL; BOTULINUM TOXINS) to manage or treat pain.Sympathetic Nervous System: The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.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.Baroreflex: A response by the BARORECEPTORS to increased BLOOD PRESSURE. Increased pressure stretches BLOOD VESSELS which activates the baroreceptors in the vessel walls. The net response of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM is a reduction of central sympathetic outflow. This reduces blood pressure both by decreasing peripheral VASCULAR RESISTANCE and by lowering CARDIAC OUTPUT. Because the baroreceptors are tonically active, the baroreflex can compensate rapidly for both increases and decreases in blood pressure.Injections: Introduction of substances into the body using a needle and syringe.Health Personnel: Men and women working in the provision of health services, whether as individual practitioners or employees of health institutions and programs, whether or not professionally trained, and whether or not subject to public regulation.

The mood disturbance is prominent and relatively persistent.Antidepressive Agents: Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems.Treatment Outcome: Evaluation undertaken to assess the results or consequences of management and procedures used in combating disease in order to determine the efficacy, effectiveness, safety, and practicability of these interventions in individual cases or series.Risk Factors: An aspect of personal behavior or lifestyle, environmental exposure, or inborn or inherited characteristic, which, on the basis of epidemiologic evidence, is known to be associated with a health-related condition considered important to prevent.Antidepressive Agents, Second-Generation: A structurally and mechanistically diverse group of drugs that are not tricyclics or monoamine oxidase inhibitors. The most clinically important appear to act selectively on serotonergic systems, especially by inhibiting serotonin reuptake.Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic: Works about clinical trials that involve at least one test treatment and one control treatment, concurrent enrollment and follow-up of the test- and control-treated groups, and in which the treatments to be administered are selected by a random process, such as the use of a random-numbers table.Hospitals, Religious: Private hospitals that are owned or sponsored by religious organizations.United StatesFaculty, Medical: The teaching staff and members of the administrative staff having academic rank in a medical school.Faculty: The teaching staff and members of the administrative staff having academic rank in an educational institution.Protestantism: The name given to all Christian denominations, sects, or groups rising out of the Reformation.

Maternal intrapartum temperature elevation as a risk factor for cesarean delivery and assisted vaginal delivery. (1/280)

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)

Neonatal outcome and mode of delivery after epidural analgesia for labour with ropivacaine and bupivacaine: a prospective meta-analysis. (2/280)

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. (3/280)

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. (4/280)

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)

Epidural pain relief in labour: potencies of levobupivacaine and racemic bupivacaine. (5/280)

We have compared the minimum local analgesic concentrations (MLAC) of levobupivacaine relative to racemic bupivacaine in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, sequential allocation study. Women in labour were given a 20-ml bolus of epidural levobupivacaine or bupivacaine diluted to a concentration determined by up-down sequential allocation. The initial concentration was 0.07% w/v for both drugs. Efficacy was defined using a visual analogue pain score (VAPS) at 10 mm or less within 30 min. The MLAC of levobupivacaine was 0.083% w/v (95% CI 0.065-0.101) and the MLAC of bupivacaine 0.081% w/v (95% CI 0.055-0.108). In molar terms, the MLAC of levobupivacaine was 2.87 mmol litre-1 (95% CI 2.25-3.49) and the MLAC of bupivacaine 2.49 mmol litre-1 (95% CI 1.69-3.32). With regard to the commercial preparations, the potency ratio levobupivacaine: bupivacaine was 0.98 (95% CI 0.67-1.41), and this is unlikely to be of clinical relevance. In molar terms, the ratio was 0.87 (95% CI 0.60-1.25). With regard to toxicity, the evidence should be evaluated in the light of a possible 13% potency difference in molar concentration in favour of racemic bupivacaine.  (+info)

Epidural analgesia during labor and maternal fever. (6/280)

BACKGROUND: In recent observational studies, epidural analgesia during labor at patient request has been associated with maternal fever. The authors report a secondary analysis of fever in women who were randomized to receive either epidural or patient-controlled intravenous analgesia during labor. METHODS: Maternal tympanic temperature was measured during spontaneous labor in 715 women at term who were randomized to either epidural analgesia with bupivacaine and fentanyl or to patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with meperidine. Intent-to-treat analysis of women with fever (temperature > or = 38.0 degrees C) versus those without was performed using Student t test and Fisher exact test to determine statistical significance (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Epidural analgesia was associated with maternal fever (odds ratio = 4.0; 95% confidence interval = 2.0-7.7), as was nulliparity (odds ratio = 4.1; 95% confidence interval = 1.8-9.1) and labor longer than 12 h (odds ratio = 5.4; 95% confidence interval = 2.9-9.9). These factors were all independent variables for maternal fever when analyzed using logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS: Epidural analgesia is associated with maternal fever. However, nulliparity and dysfunctional labor are also significant cofactors in the fever attributed to epidural analgesia.  (+info)

Epidural analgesia in an obstetric patient with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. (7/280)

We describe the use of epidural analgesia for vaginal delivery of a parturient with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome in whom the use of repeated magnetic resonance imaging during her obstetric care allowed us to see deep haemangiomata. This also allowed the safe sitting of an epidural catheter at L1-2 to provide analgesia for labour and delivery. Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome and the anaesthetic implications of the congenital vascular abnormalities and potential coagulopathy are discussed.  (+info)

Shivering and shivering-like tremor during labor with and without epidural analgesia. (8/280)

BACKGROUND: Effective treatment and prevention of hyperthermia and shivering-like tremor during labor is hindered by a poor understanding of their causes. The authors sought to identify the incidence of nonthermoregulatory shivering-like tremor and the factors associated with this activity. METHODS: The authors studied women in spontaneous full-term labor who chose epidural analgesia (n = 21) or opioid sedation (n = 31). Shivering-like tremor and sweating were evaluated by observation. Core temperature was recorded in the external auditory canal using a compensated infrared thermometer. Arteriovenous shunt tone was evaluated with forearm minus fingertip skin temperature gradients; gradients less than 0 were considered evidence of vasodilation. Tremor was considered nonthermoregulatory when core temperature exceeded 37 degrees C and the arms were vasodilated. Pain was evaluated using a visual analog scale. RESULTS: Shivering-like tremor was observed in 18% of 290, 30-min data-acquisition epochs before delivery. The patients were both normothermic and vasodilated during 15% of these epochs. Shivering was observed in 16% of 116 postdelivery epochs and was nonthermoregulatory in 28%. Sweating was observed in 30% of predelivery epochs, and the patients were both hypothermic and vasoconstricted during 12%. The mean core temperature in patients given epidural analgesia was approximately 0.2 degrees C greater than in those given sedation. Hyperthermia was observed during 10 epochs (38.4+/-0.3 degrees C) during epidural analgesia and during 10 epochs (38.4+/-0.3 degrees C) with sedation. The patients were vasoconstricted in more than 50% of these epochs in each group. Multivariate mixed-effects modeling identified high pain scores and vasoconstriction as significant predictors of shivering. There were no predictors for shivering epochs in patients who were simultaneously normothermic and vasodilated. Significant predictors of sweating were time before delivery, high pain scores, hypothermia with vasoconstriction, high thermal comfort, and low mean skin temperature. There were no predictors for sweating epochs in patients who were simultaneously hypothermic and vasoconstricted. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the clinical impression that some peripartum shivering-like tremor is nonthermoregulatory. The authors also identified nonthermoregulatory sweating. These data indicate that shivering-like tremor and sweating in the peripartum period is multifactorial.  (+info)

Fifteen days later, the patient was treated for a back skin abscess with surgical incision and oral antibiotics in view of the increase of the tumefaction. The results of bacteriologic investigations were negative. The patient did not experience any pain or fever. The results of clinical and neurologic examinations were unremarkable. Biologic samples were within the reference ranges, except for the inflammation test result. Two months after her delivery, the patient was referred to the hospital because the wound had still not healed, despite her good health. Magnetic resonance imaging (fig. 1) and computed tomography were performed and revealed a displacement of the nerve roots by an expansive mass in the posterior extradural space, which took up more than 50% of the spinal canal. This mass began at the L2-L3 level with an L2 neural arch lysis and continued down to L4-L5. Inflammatory infiltrate extended in both psoas and sacroiliac joints.

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.

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 ...

Wee Peek Prenatal Imaging | Epidurals in Labor  Wee 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 ...

The Gauge System for the Medical Use : Anesthesia & Analgesia  The "Gauge" System for the Medical Use : Anesthesia & Analgesia
To the Editor:. The size of needles and catheters is categorized by the "gauge" system. Medical references about the definition of "gauge" are not available. In the early 19th century, Peter Stubs invented the so-called "gauge" system but a definition was not included, and only an arbitrary conversion table for the iron wire existed (1). Recently, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published some guidelines for the dimensions of needles and catheters (Tables 1 and 2) (2-4). For the needles, ISO standards for inner and outer diameters (ID and OD) are available, but for the catheters, only OD standards are available. In addition, the needles and catheters of the same gauge appear to have different IDs and ODs. Thus, whenever we want to know the exact ID or OD of needles or catheters, e.g., combined spinal-epidural techniques, spinal needle insertion through an introducer, comparison with French system or guidewire insertion during the retrograde intubation etc., we have to ...

Intact umbilical cord | Wise Woman Way of Birth | by Gloria Lemay  Intact umbilical cord | Wise Woman Way of Birth | by Gloria Lemay
illustration from "Heart and Hands" by Elizabeth Davis). The only way to sit on your hands and let her birth naturally is to not do any pelvic exams. In Europe, the rule is "the baby should be born within 24 hours of the first pelvic exam" with PROM. That gives you weeks, if you dont examine. Listening to fetal heart tones daily and taking the maternal temperature every four hours while the woman is awake is the appropriate course of action when the membranes release. Many midwives will leave a fetoscope at the house for the parents to listen to the babys heart rate for reassurance. Iatrogenic infections are a serious problem in obstetrics. There was a time when no vaginal exams were done in hospitals at all because of the danger. If a cervix had to be examined, it was done with a rectal exam to keep fingers out of the vagina. Just because we now have a wide variety of antibiotics is no reason to expose women and babies to this danger. Gloria. Question: I have some questions about how to ...

So, You Want An Epidural?  So, You Want An Epidural?
Low blood pressure has a direct effect on how much blood is pumped into the placenta. This in turn affects how much oxygen reaches the baby which is obviously not ideal. To remedy the problem it is likely that you will get hooked up to IV fluids which may restrict how freely you can move into different positions for labour (another reason why your walking epidural might end up less mobile).. Elevated maternal temperature has the potential to spark a whole cascade of meddling, not least because a temperature can be a sign of infection but also because it may lead to a faster heart rate in the baby. Fast heart rate can be a sign of a baby in distress and may lead to a c-section. Baby may need tests to rule out infection and may require treatment with antibiotics after the birth, interfering with those precious first moments of skin to skin contact, breast feeding and bonding. That right there is a good enough reason for me to try and stay away from the epidural!. Does an epidural really slow down ...

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, ...

Smooth muscle cell organization in the stem region of the gracilis col by Laura Lenae Burckhardt  "Smooth muscle cell organization in the stem region of the gracilis col" by Laura Lenae Burckhardt
Of the approximately 8 million Americans who suffer from ischemic peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), many present with intermittent claudication, or pain associated with exercise. Impaired vasodilation of resistance vessels is a potential explanation for this symptom. Occluded arteries can lead to increased flow through collateral vessels, which function as natural bypasses around the obstruction. This increase in blood flow and resulting shear stress can cause outward remodeling, or arteriogenesis, which improves the efficacy of collaterals. However, following femoral artery ligation in a mouse model of chronic ischemia, vasodilation in the stem region of collateral vessels is impaired at day 7. In the outwardly remodeled collateral stem, the vessel diameter increase is not associated with cell proliferation, suggesting the functionality of the present smooth muscle cells (SMCs) may account for the impaired vasodilation. A potential mechanism for increased vessel diameter in the collateral

Neuraxial analgesia techniques (epidural, spinal, and combined spinal-epidural) are the most effective and least depressant treatments for labor pain (2). Early studies generated concern that the benefits of neuraxial analgesia may be offset by an associated increase in the risk of cesarean delivery. Recent studies, however, have determined that when compared with intravenous systemic opioid analgesia, the initiation of early neuraxial analgesia does not increase the risk of cesarean delivery (9). Furthermore, certain studies demonstrated an even greater association between epidural analgesia and cesarean delivery in women who receive received their epidurals before reaching cervical dilatation of 5 cm. In 2002, an evaluation of cesarean delivery sponsored by the American College of the Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) concluded: there is considerable evidence suggesting that there is in fact an association between the use of epidural analgesia for pain relief during labor and the risk of ...

Cervical dilation (or cervical dilatation) is the opening of the cervix, the entrance to the uterus, during childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion, or gynecological surgery. Cervical dilation may occur naturally, or may be induced by surgical or medical means. In the later stages of pregnancy, the cervix may already have opened up to 1-3 cm (or more in rarer circumstances), but during labor, repeated uterine contractions lead to further widening of the cervix to about 6 centimeters. From that point, pressure from the presenting part (head in vertex births or bottom in breech births), along with uterine contractions, will dilate the cervix to 10 centimeters, which is "complete." Cervical dilation is accompanied by effacement, the thinning of the cervix. General guidelines for cervical dilation: Latent phase: 0-3 centimeters Active Labor: 4-7 centimeters Transition: 8-10 centimeters Complete: 10 centimeters. Delivery of the infant takes place shortly after this stage is reached (although the ...

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 ...

Epidural analgesia  Epidural 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.. ...

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, ...

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

EDITOR,-The comments on epidural analgesia for labour in Philip Steers review overlooked important new evidence relating to postpartum backache and a potential hazard of ambulatory epidural analgesia.1. Steer implies that the use of epidurals in labour results in increased rates of long term backache. However, the reference supporting this is a retrospective review of only 39% of a population of women who delivered their baby at a given hospital over an eight year period.2 Apart from the inherent drawbacks in making causal associations in a retrospective study, recall bias over such a protracted period would tend to render its conclusions unreliable.. On the contrary, a more recent prospective study of 1042 women interviewed during their admission for delivery and again two months later found no difference in the incidence of new postpartum back pain between those who received epidural analgesia for labour (44%) and those who did not (45%).3 The design of this study is more appropriate to ...

Epidurals are associated with prolongation of labour and may increase the operative vaginal delivery rate but there is no evidence that they increase the caesarean section rate. Several studies have compared ropivacaine and bupivacaine for labour analgesia and studies consistently show that ropivacaine is less potent than bupivacaine. Several studies suggest intrathecal opioids may increase the incidence of fetal bradycardia; however the magnitude of this increase is difficult to determine and may be small ...

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.. ...

Epidurals Today | Teresa Bailey  Epidurals Today | Teresa Bailey
As a working doula, what can I say about epidurals today? I have three things to say about them. First, if you are giving birth in a non-rural part of the U.S., you should decide what you think about having an epidural prior to your birth. You should read about them and discuss them with your care provider (doctor or midwife) and also your doula.. Second, please realize that most mothers can give birth without an epidural and that there are distinct advantages to not having an epidural. All the mothers who have spoken to me about giving birth without pain medication have been glad that they did it! Not just some of them, all of them! That is significant. They may have different reasons, but moms who have a pain-med-free birth are proud of themselves. They have conquered their rite of passage into motherhood. They have accomplished something that no one can ever take away from them. Ever.. That isnt to say that moms who have an epidural (or other pain medications in labor) wont have a lovely ...

Background. Epidural analgesia is associated with an increased risk of instrumental delivery. We, in this study, present a systematic review in order to assess the effectiveness of maintaining an upright position during the second stage of labor to reduce instrumental deliveries among women choosing epidural analgesia. The study population included women with uncomplicated pregnancies at term with epidural analgesia established in the first stage of labor.. Methods. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases and the Cochrane Trials Register up to July 2003 and cross-checked the reference lists of published studies. Trial eligibility and outcomes were pre-specified. Group tabular data were obtained for each trial and were analyzed by using meta-analytic techniques.. Results. Only two studies were included with data on 281 women (166 upright and 115 recumbent). Upright positions in the second stage were associated with a non-significant reduction in the risk of both instrumental delivery ...

Labor Pain and Analgesia  Labor 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 ...

Effect of Preemptive Epidural Analgesia  Effect of Preemptive Epidural Analgesia
Methods Forty women undergoing elective laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer were allocated to this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial. Before inducing anesthesia, 2 mg morphine dissolved in 15 mL of 1% lidocaine (preemptive group) or the same volume of normal saline (control group) was administered into the epidural space through a prepared catheter in a double-blind manner, using sealed syringes. After peritoneal closure, the other drugs in the remaining sealed syringe were administered in the reverse manner. All patients were then administered lidocaine plus morphine over a 72-hour period, using a patient-controlled epidural analgesia pump ...

Early labour: what helps... - Birth, Baby & Family  Early labour: what helps... - Birth, Baby & Family
I am a long early-labourer - with two of my babies I niggled and contracted for days before labour finally kicked in. With my first it was for just a day - it was exhausting, sometimes frightening and I felt like I was in this off no-mans land because I wasnt officially in labour and so it was just me and my husband and my trusty Sheila Kitzinger book.. Nothing much is written about early labour - and in pregnancy we might not seek this information because we mainly want to know about full-on labour and managing those big contractions.. But it can be early labour that throws us the curve ball, that knocks our confidence and takes us by surprise by being hard to manage.. Early labour can be brief and manageable but it can also last for 2-3 days with discomfort, pain, tiredness, frustration and thats before labour properly kicks in.. It can often be caused by the position of a baby in the womb - lying on the right, lying back-to-back or just not quite lined up on the left can create a back ...

Prenatal Yoga Center | Epidurals: The Pros and The Cons  Prenatal Yoga Center | Epidurals: The Pros and The Cons
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 contractions will continue to help move your baby further down the birth canal and lessen the time you are actually ...

Epidural analgesia remains the gold standard during labour, but is contraindicated in several clinical settings due to increased risk of serious complications. There are few effective alternatives to epidural analgesia. However, there is an increasing interest for the use of remifentanil as a labour analgesic. In this focused review, we describe the effect, dose and safety of remifentanil for the mother and fetus/neonate. Remifentanil appears to have a potential as labour analgesic. Careful monitoring of the parturient and the newborn is advised ...

Epidural - series | Health Encyclopedia | FloridaHealthFinder.gov  Epidural - series | Health Encyclopedia | FloridaHealthFinder.gov
Epidurals are very effective at relieving labor pain, but they have some drawbacks: First, they take up to 20 minutes to administer and take effect. Epidurals can slow labor if theyre given too soon, and being numb from the waist down may make it harder for you to push your baby out. Unless you are given a "walking epidural" or "narcotic spinal", youll need to stay in bed for your entire labor. Epidurals can also cause your blood pressure to drop, which in turn may slow your babys heartbeat. To prevent this, youll be given intravenous fluids and may be asked to lay on your side to help your blood circulate. To be on the safe side, your doctor will keep close tabs on your baby by continuously monitoring your blood pressure and his heart rate.. ...

On Labor Pain and Redemption - Gloria Furman  On Labor Pain and Redemption - Gloria Furman
In this passage in Romans we read that the whole creation is groaning together in pain as we wait for one thing-our Blessed Hope. All things are aligned under Gods sovereign purpose to glorify himself through the redemption and adoption of his chosen people through the work of his Son. And though we would like to walk out saying, "Thats it; Im done" in the middle of our pain (a sentiment Ive felt and heard laboring women express), we can be assured that deliverance is coming. Lastly, Romans 8:22-23 states clearly that it is redemption and adoption that is nigh (no surprise manatees). Our groaning is not for anything less than this glorious, guaranteed, impending reality ...

0304] In one embodiment, a request is detected to be for a persistent connection when the idle time (`IT`) is short since persistent connections, established in response to long poll requests or long poll HTTP requests for example, can also be characterized in detecting immediate or near-immediate issuance of a subsequent request after receipt of a response to a previous request (e.g., IT ˜0). As such, the idle time (`IT`) can also be used to detect such immediate or near-immediate re-request to identify long poll requests. The absolute or relative timings determined by the tracking engine 238b are used to determine whether the second request is immediately or near-immediately re-requested after the response to the first request is received. For example, a request may be categorized as a long poll request if D+RT+IT˜D+RT since IT is small for this to hold true. IT may be determined to be small if it is less than a threshold value. Note that the threshold value could be fixed or calculated over ...

Authors: Jessica Booth, M.D. et al. Anesthesiology 7 2017, Vol.127, 50-57.. Background: The addition of opioids to epidural local anesthetic reduces local anesthetic consumption by 20% but at the expense of side effects and time spent for regulatory compliance paperwork. Epidural neostigmine also reduces local anesthetic use. The authors hypothesized that epidural bupivacaine with neostigmine would decrease total hourly bupivacaine use compared with epidural bupivacaine with fentanyl for patient-controlled epidural analgesia.. Methods: A total of 215 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II, laboring parturients requesting labor epidural analgesia consented to the study and were randomized to receive 0.125% bupivacaine with the addition of either fentanyl (2 μg/ml) or neostigmine (2, 4, or 8 μg/ml). The primary outcome was total hourly local anesthetic consumption, defined as total patient-controlled epidural analgesia use and top-ups (expressed as milliliters of 0.125% ...

Case pain visual analog score persisted above 10 mm, patient was rejected and the same bupivacaines concentration was administered to the next patient.. Bupivacaines minimum analgesic concentration was calculated by Massey and Dixons formula 8.. Upper sensory block level and Bromage scores were compared between effective and ineffective concentrations by Mann-Whitney test. Significance level was established to 5%.. RESULTS. Demographics data of both samples are shown in table I.. Study I. Figure 1 shows the responses to different bupivacaine concentrations. Bupivacaines MAC-LA could not be calculated because data did not meet essential Massey and Dixon formulas requirements. There were 6 effective responses, 15 ineffective and 7 rejections. Mean bupivacaine concentration in this sample was 0.18% ±0.05%. Mean effective bupivacaine concentration was 0.19% ±0.07% and mean ineffective concentration was 0.18% ±0.055% (p,0.05).

Patient-Controlled Analgesia Pumps Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a type of pain management that lets you decide when you will get a dose of pain medicine. In some situations, PCA may be a better way of providing pain relief than calling for someone (typically a nurse) to give you pain medicine. With PCA you dont need to wait for a nurse. And you can get smaller doses of pain medicine more often. With this type of pain treatment, a needle attached to an IV (intravenous) line is placed into 1 of ...

Effect of thoracic epidural analgesia on clinical outcomes following transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation | Heart  Effect of thoracic epidural analgesia on clinical outcomes following transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation | Heart
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 ...

Spinal epidural abscess has rarely been associated with the use of epidural catheters. We describe two patients with epidural abscesses that occurred in relation to the use of temporary epidural catheters; a literature review yielded 20 additional well-described cases. The mean age of these 22 patients was 49.9 years, the median duration of epidural catheter use was 3 days, and the median time to onset of clinical symptoms after catheter placement was 5 days. The majority of patients (63.6%) had major neurological deficits, and 22.7% also had concomitant meningitis. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogen. Despite antibiotic therapy and drainage procedures, 38% of the patients continued to have neurological deficits. These unusual but serious complications of temporary epidural catheter use require efficient and accurate diagnostic evaluation, as they can be substantial.. ...
