Its variants are epidural analgesia and combined spinal-epidural analgesia. Few studies, as yet, have investigated the duration of labor as a primary outcome. Some authors have suggested that combined spinal-epidural analgesia may reduce labor duration but at the moment the benefit of shortening labor is uncertain. The main aim of this study was to compare combined spinal-epidural with epidural analgesia in terms of their effect on ...
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. Soft tissues were involved with collections in both ...

Epidural analgesia has been used to provide labor pain relief for more than 40 years, with modern techniques providing better pain control with fewer side effects. Since the early 1990s, the CSE technique has become popular because it provides more rapid pain relief with less leg weakness-the main side effect of epidural analgesia.. Despite previous studies, the relative advantages of these options for labor analgesia have been unclear. The new study is the first to directly compare epidural versus CSE for labor analgesia in a busy private maternity hospital.. The results suggest that CSE provides significantly faster and better pain relief during the first stage of labor, compared to the traditional epidural technique. The differences in pain control during early labor are small but significant, Dr Gambling and colleagues note. They write, [W]hen one considers the fact that fewer top-up doses were required to achieve the improvement in analgesia, it would seem that on balance CSE is the ...

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 ...
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 ...
|i|Background|/i|. If conversion of labor epidural analgesia to cesarean delivery anesthesia fails, the anesthesiologist can be confronted with a challenging clinical dilemma. Optimal management of a failed epidural top up continues to be debated in the absence of best practice guidelines. |i|Method|/i|. All members of the Obstetric Anaesthetists’ Association in the United Kingdom were emailed an online survey in May 2017. It obtained information on factors influencing the decision to utilize an existing labor epidural for cesarean section and, if epidural top up resulted in no objective sensory block, bilateral T10 sensory block, or unilateral T6 sensory block, factors influencing the management and selection of anesthetic technique. Differences in management options between respondents were compared using the chi-squared test. |i|Results|/i|. We received 710 survey questionnaires with an overall response rate of 41%. Most respondents (89%) would consider topping up an existing

Objective: Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) and intermittent epidural dosing are widely accepted methods for labor analgesia. The outcomes of duration of labor, Cesarean section, and instrumented deliveries of PCEA compared to intermittent epidural dosing are uncertain. We have performed a meta-analysis to further examine this issue. Method: This project is exempt from the Johns Hopkins IRB. A systematic literature search of the National Library of Medicine s PubMed database was conducted for terms related to PCEA for labor analgesia (epidural or extradural, patient-controlled or PCEA or patient controlled, labor or labour or pregnant or pregnancy or parturient). Only randomized controlled trials in the English language comparing PCEA to intermittent epidural dosing for labor analgesia were included for analysis. Data on pertinent study characteristics and relevant outcomes were extracted from accepted articles. Meta-analysis was performed using the Review Manager 4.2.10 (The ...
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 ...

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 ...
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, ...

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

Advances in the field of labour analgesia have tread a long journey from the days of ether and chloroform in 1847 to the present day practice of comprehensive programme of labour pain management using evidence-based medicine. Newer advances include introduction of newer techniques like combined spinal epidurals, low-dose epidurals facilitating ambulation, pharmacological advances like introduction of remifentanil for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia, introduction of newer local anaesthetics and adjuvants like ropivacaine, levobupivacaine, sufentanil, clonidine and neostigmine, use of inhalational agents like sevoflourane for patient-controlled inhalational analgesia using special vaporizers, all have revolutionized the practice of pain management in labouring parturients. Technological advances like use of ultrasound to localize epidural space in difficult cases minimizes failed epidurals and introduction of novel drug delivery modalities like patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) ...
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 ...
Eisenmenger syndrome belongs to the 0.4-4.1% (incidence) rarely encountered congenital cardiac lesions in pregnancy. Management of a pregnant patient with Eisenmenger syndrome is a challenging task for the anesthesiologist. Here, we report the successful outcome with the use of low-dose sequential combined spinal-epidural (CSE) anesthesia in a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome posted for cesarean section. Low-dose sequential CSE anesthesia was adequate for the performance of cesarean section with minimal hemodynamic changes and good fetal outcome. Low-dose sequential CSE can be a safe alternative to achieve good anesthesia with hemodynamic stability in such case.
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 ...

Accumulating evidence indicated that neuraxial analgesia in the latent phase of the first stage of labor would be an effective and safe health care procedure for nulliparas. Doulas, women with labor experience trained for parturients, is a new way to alleviate the psychological stress from the laboring pain. Previous data in our study showed that doula accompany is a good method in shortening the progress of labor used in the active phrase of the first stage of labor, and decreasing the rate of cesarean delivery. Investigators hypothesized that doula combined neuraxial (epidural) analgesia in the latent phrase would be a superior means for effective pain relief, decreased rate of cesarean section, and shortened duration of labor ...

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, ...
Pencil-point needles have been shown to cause less tissue and nerve damage than beveled cutting needles. Despite this, trauma to the spinal cord or conus medullaris is probably more closely associated with the level of needle insertion than the type of needle. Studies have shown that clinicians are not good at accurately identifying the lumber intervertebral spaces, often inserting the needle one, two, or more spaces higher than intended.. Tuffiers line, drawn between the superior iliac crests, is commonly used as a starting point to identify lumber interspaces. It usually crosses at the level of the L4 spinous process, but not reliably so. Obesity, pregnancy, and the lateral position, often used for neuraxial block placement, all increase the inaccuracy of this method.. It is recommended that spinal needle insertion should ideally be below L3 to minimize the chance of spinal cord injury. It is also worth noting that the position of the orifice in pencil-point needles is further back from the ...
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
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 ...

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 ...

What the Anesthesiologist Should Know before the Operative Procedure Multiple modalities exist for nonpharmacologic analgesia for labor and delivery. While the laboring parturient has a sense of urgency secondary to pain, it is essential to understand that labor analgesia is considered elective. Nonpharmacologic analgesia is not relevant to operative delivery such as cesarean or forceps-assisted…. ...
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.. ...

By Courtney L. Baetge, DVMIf I have learned anything during my time as an anesthesiologist, it is that for every topic there are a multitude of opinions. But I do believe most anesthesiologists are strong advocates of epidurals. The benefits of an improved anesthetic plane, smoother recovery and superior post-operative pain control well outweigh the…

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 ...
Women once had to endure labor and delivery without medication to ease the pain. Now, techniques like epidurals can make giving birth more calm, controlled, and comfortable.

Marks an AccessLogElement as needing to be have the value cached at the start of the request rather than just recorded at the end as the source data for the element may not be available at the end of the request. This typically occurs for remote network information, such as ports, IP addresses etc. when the connection is closed unexpectedly.

Shed gotten Finns first text message on her way to the hospital but decided against texting him back until she got to the hospital; however, by then hed already withdrawn his first request and told her to take a rain check. Noting that she really needed to talk to him, Addison made a mental note to contact him later. The night before had been complicated and she was sure shed led him on. Now things were different and she was going to work things out with Derek so she needed to tell him. He was a good friend and she was sure that she would need his shoulder to lean on when things got tough with Derek so she needed to be absolutely honest with him ...

Kim Kardashian was made to deliver her baby five weeks before the due date because doctors feared she was suffering from a potentially dangerous condition.
The two husbands claim that women exaggerate everything, but after getting hooked up to the electrodes and zapped repeatedly, they change their story. The electrodes simulate the pain that comes with childbirth and ramps up from a level one which is the very beginning of labor to level 10, which demonstrates what it feel like during full-blown delivery time ...

Justice Weilers concerns about the 12-month cap were echoed in Minott v. OShanter in 1999, where the Court of Appeal clarified that Cronk didnt establish a hard ceiling. Yet the result was still something of a soft ceiling, like the 24-month overall ceiling for notice periods - it was hard to get past, and impossible to get much past. (In Minott itself, the Court of Appeal upheld an award of a 13-month notice period to a non-supervisory unskilled labourer who was 43 years old with 11 years of service...compare *that* one to Mr. Rubin ...
