Effects of different timing of labor analgesia on parturient labor and neonatal outcomes
Objective To observe the effects of different timing of labor analgesia on parturient labor and neonatal outcomes.Methods The clinical data of 134 primipara who gave birth were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into two groups according to the timing of labor analgesia.70 women with uterine dilation<3 cm for labor analgesia were set as control group,and 64 women with uterine dilation ≥3 cm for labor analgesia were set as observation group.The labor time,natural delivery rate and Apgar score of newborns in 1 min and 5 min were compared between the two groups.Results The first stage of labor in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the rate of vaginal delivery,vaginal midwifery and cesarean section between the two groups(P>0.05).The Apgar score(9.95±0.04)points in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(9.87±0.11)points(P<0.05).Conclusion Labor analgesia in primipara with uterine dilation ≥3 cm can shorten the time of the first stage of labor,reduce the risk of neonatal asphyxia,and does not increase the rate of vaginal midwifery and cesarean section.
