Fetomaternal Outcome and Epidural Anesthesia

Fetomaternal Outcome and Epidural Anesthesia

Abstract

Introduction: A treatment to make a woman more comfortable during childbirth is called an epidural anaesthesia. The area of the spine where local anaesthetic is administered is referred to as the “epidural.” It is a local anaesthetic that causes a person’s feet to freeze up to their abdomen. The patient can participate actively in all aspects of the childbirth process while fully awake. Both nonpharmacological and pharmacological analgesic techniques can alter the pain pathways. Assist in the early and second stages of labour with improved pain management. Promote the participation of the expectant mother during labour and delivery. This study looked at how epidural analgesia affected maternal and foetal outcomes in women who were having their induction of labour. Material and Methods: A complete physical examination of 110 low risk primigravida patients who were at term and in labour (>=4 cm) was performed. Physical status ASA 1 individuals received epidural analgesia and acted as cases. Primigravida who met the inclusion criteria and reported in the delivery room or antenatal clinic were given the choice of receiving epidural analgesia. In addition to conducting a clinical examination, a thorough relevant history was acquired. Informed written agreement was obtained from the expectant mother and her family members who agreed to receive epidural analgesia. An anaesthetist placed the epidural catheter in the operating theatre. The CTG (cardiotocography) was used to record baseline variables such heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2, and FHR. Results: The mean Apgar score of neonates at one minute was 9.57±1.54 while mean Apgar score at 5 minutes was 10.2±1.64.In terms of pain relief, the majority of patients 71,( 64.55%) reported no pain, 23 (20.91%) reported mild pain, 11 (10%) reported moderate pain, and 5 (4.55%) reported severe pain. The majority of the patients (n 68, 61.82%), with a mean age of 24.9 ± 2.1 years, were in the 20–25 age range. 59 patients (53.64%) gave birth naturally by vaginal delivery; 6 patients (5.45%) used forceps; 9 patients (8.18%) used ventouse, and 36 patients (32.73%) required a cesarean section (LSCS). Conclusion: Thus, epidural analgesia aims to make labour a pleasant, and pain-free event and offers good pain relief for the majority of the patients. It was not linked to foetal compromise, but it was linked to an enhanced second stage of labour. Consequently, epidural analgesia is among the best and safest methods of pain management.
