Does Epidural Labor Analgesia Increase the Rate of Cesarean Section? A Retrospective Study
نویسنده
چکیده
The data from a total of 139 subjects were eventually included into the analysis. Significant difference in the rate of Cesarean delivery was observed amongst the two groups (7.3% in patients with epidural analgesia versus 63.4% in patients without epidural analgesia, P < 0.0001). The pain rating, oxytocin use, and patient’s satisfaction were also superior in those underwent epidural analgesia than those without analgesia. No significant differences were expressed in variables of non-reassuring fetal status.

BACKGROUND The timing of initiation of epidural analgesia and its causal relationship with mode of delivery is controversial. This retrospective investigation reviews and determines whether early initiation of epidural analgesia in nulliparous women influences the rate of cesarean sections as well as other obstetric outcome measures. METHODS The nursing records of 1623 parturients who receive...

BACKGROUND The optimal timing of epidural analgesia has been a controversial issue, and how early women can benefit from epidural analgesia is still debated. The objective of this trial was to test the hypothesis that patient-controlled epidural analgesia given at cervical dilation of 1.0 cm or more does not increase the risk of prolonged labor or Cesarean delivery. METHODS After institutiona...

BACKGROUND The association between epidural analgesia for labor and the risk of cesarean section for dystocia remains controversial The authors hypothesized that if epidural analgesia were an important factor in determining cesarean section rates, then obstetricians with higher rates of utilization of epidural analgesia for labor would have higher rates of cesarean section for dystocia. METHO...

OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to determine the effect of epidural analgesia on nulliparous labor and delivery. STUDY DESIGN Normal term nulliparous women in early spontaneous labor were randomized to receive either narcotic or epidural analgesia. RESULTS When compared with the group receiving narcotic analgesia (n = 45), the group receiving epidural analgesia (n = 48) had a significant prolonga...
