Study on the analgesic effect of continuous lumbo-epidural block anesthesia in painless delivery and its influence on labor and maternal and infant conditions
Objective To explore the analgesic effect of continuous epidural block anesthesia in painless labor and its influence on the labor process and maternal and infant conditions.Methods 50 parturients were selected and divided into 25 cases in each group according to random number table method.The women in the control group were given natural delivery,and the women in the study group were given continuous lumbo-epidural block anesthesia and painless delivery.The pain during labor and neonatal Apgar score were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the control group,the pain scores of women in the study group decreased significantly after 3 cm of uterine opening,full uterine opening and fetal delivery(P<0.05).The time of the first and second stage of labor in the study group was shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in the time of the third stage of labor between the two groups(P>0.05).The Apgar score of neonates in the study group was(9.44±0.14)points and that in the control group was(9.38±0.22)points,with no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion lumbar and epidural block anesthesia has significant analgesic effect in painless labor,which can improve maternal labor experience and accelerate labor progress,and has no adverse effect on maternal and infant outcomes,which is worth promoting.
