Comparison of epidural analgesia with combined spinal-epidural analgesia for labor: a retrospective study of 6497 cases.
BACKGROUND Combined spinal-epidural analgesia provides rapid-onset analgesia with minimal motor block, but it is a more invasive technique than epidural analgesia and the risk of complications may be increased. This study compared the safety and effect on delivery of combined spinal-epidural and epidural analgesia in labor. METHODS A retrospective observational study was performed. Data were ...
متن کاملIntrathecal opioids plus bupivacaine: an option to prolong analgesic efficacy when using the combined spinal-epidural technique--a case report.
Providing analgesia in the latent phase of labor can be challenging. Many obstetricians and nurse midwives believe that epidural analgesia initiated too early in the course of labor can prolong labor and result in fetal malpresentation, thus increasing the need for instrumentation. Many practitioners therefore use the combined spinal-epidural technique with intrathecal opioids during the early ...
متن کاملSuccess of spinal and epidural labor analgesia: comparison of loss of resistance technique using air versus saline in combined spinal-epidural labor analgesia technique.
BACKGROUND Comparison of air versus saline for loss of resistance technique (LORT) in combined spinal epidural labor analgesia (CSE) has not been evaluated, and neither has the relation between CSE characteristics (the presence/absence of initial spontaneous clear fluid return or upon aspiration) and spinal/epidural analgesia outcomes. The authors hypothesized that there is no difference in the...
متن کاملCombined spinal-epidural versus epidural labor analgesia.
BACKGROUND Despite the growing popularity of combined spinal-epidural analgesia in laboring women, the exact role of intrathecal opioids and the needle-through-needle technique remains to be determined. The authors hypothesized that anesthetic technique would have little effect on obstetric outcome or anesthetic complications. METHODS Data were prospectively collected from 2,183 laboring wome...
متن کامل[Meningitis after combined spinal-epidural analgesia for labor: case report].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Meningitis is a serious complication, although rare in regional anesthesia. This report aimed at presenting a case which evolved to meningitis after combined labor spinal-epidural analgesia. CASE REPORT Laboring patient, 25 years old, second gestation and previous c-section. Combined labor spinal-epidural analgesia was induced with double-puncture. Twenty-four hours ...
