RESUMO

Objective: Each repeat cesarean section (CS) potentially adds surgical complexity. The determination of appropriate anesthesia strategy to meet the surgical challenge is of crucial importance for the maternal and neonatal outcome. Study design: This prospective cohort study was conducted from 1-Jan-2021 to 31-Dec-2021 at a single large obstetric centre of all repeat CS. We compared the characteristics and the appropriateness of the anesthesia techniques for low-order repeat CS (LOR-CS) (1 or 2 previous CS) and high order repat CS (HOR-CS) group (3 or more repeat CS). Results: During the study period, 1057 parturients met the study entry criteria, with 821 parturients in the LOR-CS group and 236 parturients in the HOR-CS group. The use of spinal anesthesia was more common for HOR-CS 84.3%. Overall surgical time varied between LOR-CS (38 min, 29-49) and HOR-CS (42 min, 31-57) (p = 0.004).The rate of moderate and severe adhesions was relatively high in HOR-CS and the duration of overall surgical time for cases with mild adhesions was 38 min (29-48), for moderate adhesions was 44 min (34.8-56.5), and for severe adhesions was 56 min (44.8-74.3). There was no significant difference in the Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) between LOR-CS and HOR-CS, with values of 653 ± 292 ml vs. 660 ± 285 ml, respectively. Conclusion: Our data indicate that spinal anesthesia, standard monitoring and regular anesthetic setup are safe and suitable for the majority of HOR-CS, except in cases with high suspicion of placental accreta spectrum.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The risk of aspiration during general anesthesia for cesarean delivery has long been thought to be increased due to factors such as increased intra-abdominal pressures and delayed gastric emptying in pregnant patients. However, recent studies have reported normal gastric emptying in pregnant patients, suggesting that the risk of aspiration may not be as high as previously believed. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of 48,609 cesarean deliveries, of which 22,690 (46.7%) were performed under general anesthesia at two large tertiary medical centers in Israel. The study aimed to examine the incidence of potentially severe aspiration during cesarean delivery, both under general and neuraxial anesthesia. RESULTS: Among the patients included in the study, three were admitted to the intensive care unit due to suspected pulmonary aspiration. Two of these cases occurred during induction of general anesthesia for emergency cesarean delivery associated with difficult intubation and one under deep sedation during spinal anesthesia. The incidence of aspiration during cesarean delivery during general anesthesia in our study was 1 in 11,345 patients, and the incidence of aspiration during neuraxial anesthesia was 1 in 25,929 patients. No deaths due to aspiration were reported during the study period. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide another contemporary analysis of aspiration rates in obstetric patients, highlighting increased risks during the management of difficult airways during general anesthesia and deep sedation associated with neuraxial anesthesia.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Gaucher disease's (GD) pathophysiology generates anesthetic concerns in total hip joint arthroplasty (THA), and due to its rareness, data on perioperative risks are scarce. This 22-year study at a large reference center addresses anesthetic management and perioperative outcomes in GD. METHODS: This retrospective-cohort study assessed anesthetic success and safety in 30 THA patients, comparing them with a control-matched group. Data on clinical characteristics, perioperative events, and outcomes were collected. The primary outcome was the success rate of anesthesia induction performance at first attempt. Secondary outcomes were difficult intraoperative course and hemodynamic management, and the development of postoperative complications. The age, sex, weight, body mass index, and primary-to-revision hip arthroplasty ratio were similar in both groups. RESULTS: There was no significant difference at all-type anesthesia first initiation attempt success. No particular preference by staff anesthetists for general anesthesia or neuraxial procedures was observed. The GD group showed a significantly higher mean of intraoperative packed Red Blood Cell units administered ((0.73 vs. 0.18); (p = 0.038)), higher intraoperative and postoperative platelet transfusion incidence ((5/30 [16.7%] vs. 0/56 [0.00%]; p = 0.004) and (3/30 [10%] vs. 0/56 [0%]; p = 0.040)), and longer mean recovery room length of stay (426 ± 412 vs. 175 ± 140; p = 0.004). Postoperative complications were not significantly different.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Morbidly adherent placentation (MAP) increases the risk for obstetric hemorrhage. Cesarean hysterectomy is the prevalent perioperative approach. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a minimally invasive and relatively simple endovascular procedure to temporarily occlude the aorta and control below diaphragm bleeding in trauma. It has been effectively used to reduce obstetric hemorrhage. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether REBOA during cesarean delivery (CD) in women with morbidly adherent placentation is a safe and effective treatment modality. METHODS: We introduced REBOA for CD with antepartum diagnosis of MAP in 2019 and compared these patients (RG) to a standard approach group (SAG) treated in our center over the preceding year, as a control. All relevant data were collected from patient electronic files. RESULTS: Estimated blood loss and transfusion rates were significantly higher in SAG; 54.5% of SAG patients received four RBC units or more vs. one administered in RG. No fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, or platelets were administered in RG vs. mean 3.63, 6, and 3.62 units, respectively in SAG. Ten SAG patients (90.9%) underwent hysterectomy vs. 3 RG patients (30%). Five SAG patients (45%) required post-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) admission vs. no RG patients. Bladder injury occurred in five SAG cases (45%) vs. 2 RG (20%). One RG patient had a thromboembolic event. Perioperative lactate levels were significantly higher in SAG patients. CONCLUSIONS: Use of REBOA during CD in women with MAP is safe and effective in preventing massive bleeding, reducing the rate of hysterectomy, and improving patient outcome.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore speech as an alternative modality for human activity recognition (HAR) in medical settings. While current HAR technologies rely on video and sensory modalities, they are often unsuitable for the medical environment due to interference from medical personnel, privacy concerns, and environmental limitations. Therefore, we propose an end-to-end, fully automatic objective checklist validation framework that utilizes medical personnel's uttered speech to recognize and document the executed actions in a checklist format. METHODS: Our framework records, processes, and analyzes medical personnel's speech to extract valuable information about performed actions. This information is then used to fill the corresponding rubrics in the checklist automatically. RESULTS: Our approach to activity recognition outperformed the online expert examiner, achieving an F1 score of 0.869 on verbal tasks and an ICC score of 0.822 with an offline examiner. Furthermore, the framework successfully identified communication failures and medical errors made by physicians and nurses. CONCLUSION: Implementing a speech-based framework in medical settings, such as the emergency room and operation room, holds promise for improving care delivery and enabling the development of automated assistive technologies in various medical domains. By leveraging speech as a modality for HAR, we can overcome the limitations of existing technologies and enhance workflow efficiency and patient safety.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Placenta accreta poses significant risk of morbidity and mortality to a laboring patient. Here we review available treatment options, highlight trends in bleeding prevention and diagnosis that have been shown to improve patient outcome, and provide best practice suggestions. We also discuss the decision-making process for choice of anesthesia, as it is not based on a gold-standard paradigm. RECENT FINDINGS: The use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta has been gaining popularity around the world. It has been shown to cause an equivocal reduction in perioperative bleeding in placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), reduce the rate of hysterectomies, and is a safe and relatively easy technique. There are other invasive radiology techniques that have also proven to be beneficial in bleeding prevention: balloon occlusion of hypogastric arteries intraoperatively, internal iliac artery embolization, and intraoperative ligation of the hypogastric or uterine arteries. SUMMARY: Optimal management of PAS begins with early and definitive diagnosis. A multidisciplinary approach along with preparation of special equipment and the use of a check-list maximize the chance for success. Anesthesia could be done with all types of regional or under general, considering case-by-case factors but most importantly choosing according to the institution's best facility and skill.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Conversion from spinal anaesthesia to general anaesthesia (GA) was shown to be associated with more complications. It has been postulated that spinal injection of a low dose of local anaesthetic is a risk factor. We aimed to discover the rate of conversion from spinal anaesthesia to GA in women who received at least 10 mg heavy bupivacaine and opioids and assess its risk factors. METHODS: All women that underwent spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2020 were included in this analysis. Spinal anaesthesia was performed according to department protocol using heavy bupivacaine 0.5% 10-13 mg, fentanyl 20 µg, and morphine 0.1 mg. We examined rate of conversion from spinal anaesthesia to GA and rate of need for analgesia/sedation. RESULTS: There were 1.7% of women that required conversion to GA. Bupivacaine dose (OR 0.54 [95% CI 0.38 to 0.75], p < 0.001), surgery time (OR 1.03 [95% CI 1.02 to 1.04], p < 0.001), emergency caesarean section (OR 1.06 [95% CI 1.16 to 3.76], p = 0.015), and postpartum haemorrhage (OR 5.96 [95% CI 1.09 to 25.18], p = 0.025) were independent predictors of need for conversion to GA. Of the women who had CS under spinal anaesthesia, 4.1% of parturients required intraoperative analgesics/sedatives and 9.1% required anxiolysis. CONCLUSIONS: A small proportion of women required conversion to GA. This conversion occurred especially with emergency caesarean section and when low spinal bupivacaine doses were used.

RESUMO

AIM: Treatment with tranexamic acid (TxA) significantly reduces maternal death due to postpartum hemorrhage. There is increasing interest in whether it can also be used as prophylaxis for postpartum hemorrhage, especially during cesarean sections (CS). This impact study is aimed to determine the effect of routine prophylactic tranexamic acid during CS on maternal hemorrhage and the rate of the associated side effects. METHODS: This retrospective population-based cohort single-center impact study include 2000 women who delivered by CS divided into two groups with (n = 1000) and without (n = 1000) prophylactic administration of 1gram TxA prior to surgery. Primary outcomes were to determine the: (1) rate of women experiencing >10% or ≥2 g/dL hemoglobin drop from the preoperative concentration within 24 h after CS. (2) incidence of women having a hemoglobin drop of ≥2 g/dL. RESULTS: Women who did not receive TxA prophylactic had a higher rate of >10% hemoglobin decrease and a higher rate of ≥2 g/dL hemoglobin decrease Than those who received TxA prophylaxis (p < .0001, for both). Mean hospital stay (p = .002) and umbilical cord pH (p < .05) were higher among those who received TxA prophylaxis than in those who were not treated. CONCLUSIONS: The finding of our study suggest that prophylactic administration of TxA prior to CS improves maternal and neonatal outcomes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the frequency of post cesarean paralytic ileus and to identify associated risk factors and outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study of woman who underwent cesarean delivery between 2005 and 2019. All parturients who had cesarean delivery were stratified and compared according to whether or not they were diagnosed with a paralytic ileus. Women were excluded if they had an intestinal injury or repair during the cesarean or if they suffered from a post cesarean mechanical bowel obstruction diagnosed during re-laparotomy. Basic demographics, obstetric history, current delivery characteristics, re-suturing indications and outcomes were obtained and analyzed. Univariate analyses were followed by a multivariate analysis (adjusted Odds Ratio (aORs) ; [95% Confidence Interval]). RESULTS: A total of 23,486 women met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of which 135 (0.6%) were diagnosed with paralytic ileus whilst 23,347 (99.4%) did not and served as the control group. Multivariate analysis revealed that an estimated intra-operative blood loss ≥ 1000 ml was the most significant risk factor for post cesarean paralytic ileus (aOR 2.27 (1.18-4.36)), followed by multifetal gestation (aOR 2.08 (1.24-3.51)), corporeal uterine incision (aOR 1.97 (1.07-3.63)), use of topical hemostatic agents (aOR 1.78 (1.19-2.66)) and increasing maternal age (aOR 1.78 (1.19-2.66)). Regarding maternal outcomes, post cesarean paralytic ileus was associated with higher rates of postpartum hemorrhage (44.4% vs. 13.4%, p < 0.01), transfusion of blood products (23.7% vs. 3.9%, p < 0.01), post-cesarean exploratory laparotomy (4.4% vs. 0.1%, p < 0.01) and prolonged hospital stay (32.6% vs. 5.2%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: In our population, whilst post cesarean paralytic ileus is infrequent, when it occurs it is associated with increased short-term maternal morbidity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the effect of epidural analgesia (EA) on maternal and neonatal outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort database study on primiparous women who underwent a vacuum-assisted delivery (VAD) trial between 2005 and 2019 at a university-affiliated tertiary medical center. We compared women with and without the standard "one protocol" patient-controlled EA. The primary outcome was VAD failure. Secondary outcomes were maternal and neonatal morbidities. We performed univariate analysis, followed by multivariable logistic regression analysis to control for potential confounders. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS: Overall, 7042 primiparous women attempted VAD during the study period; 6238 (88.3%) and 804 (11.7%) women used and did not use EA, respectively. The VAD failure rate was significantly lower among women with than without EA use (2.5% vs. 4.2%, respectively, p < .01). On multivariable analysis, EA use was found to reduce the VAD failure rate (aOR, 0.05; 95% CI [0.01-0.49], p = .01). Notably, EA use was not associated with an increased rate of any maternal or neonatal adverse outcome (aOR, 1.01; 95% CI [0.8-1.27], p = .95 or aOR, 1.14 95% CI [0.89-1.45], p = .3, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: EA use in primiparous women is associated with lower rates of VAD failure without an increase in adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Several reports of obstetric anesthesia management have been published since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to collect high-quality broad and detailed data from different university medical centers in several European Society of Anesthesiologist countries. METHODS: This prospective observational survey was performed in eight medical centers in Spain, Israel and Portugal from 1st April to 31st July 2020. Institutional review board approval was received at each participating center. Inclusion criteria: all women with a positive test for COVID-19. Retrieved data included maternal, delivery, anesthetic, postpartum details, and neonatal outcomes. Descriptive data are presented, and outcomes were compared for women with versus without respiratory signs and symptoms. RESULTS: Women with respiratory symptoms (20/12.1%) had significantly higher mean (standard deviation) temperature (37.2 °C (0.8) versus 36.8 °C (0.6)), were older (34.1 (6.7) years versus 30.5 (6.6)) and had higher body mass index kg m-2 - (29.5 (7.5) versus 28.2 (5.1)). Women with respiratory symptoms delivered at a significantly earlier gestational age (50% < 37 weeks) with a 65% cesarean delivery rate (versus 22.1% in the group without respiratory symptoms) and 5-fold increased rate of emergency cesarean delivery, 30% performed under general anesthesia. A higher rate of intrauterine fetal death (3%) was observed than expected from the literature (0.2-0.3%) in developed countries. There was no evidence of viral vertical transmission. CONCLUSION: Well-functioning neuraxial analgesia should be available to manage laboring women with respiratory symptoms, as there is a higher frequency of emergency cesarean delivery. We report a higher rate of undiagnosed parturient and intrauterine fetal death.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Our hospital used to perform cesarean delivery under general anesthesia rather than neuraxial anesthesia, mostly because of patient refusal of members of the conservative Bedouin society. According to recommendations implemented by the Israeli Obstetric Anesthesia Society, which were implemented due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, we increased the rate of neuraxial anesthesia among deliveries. OBJECTIVES: To compare the rates of neuraxial anesthesia in our cesarean population before and during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. METHODS: We included consecutive women undergoing an elective cesarean delivery from two time periods: pre-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (15 February 2019 to 14 April 2019) and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (15 February 2020 to 15 April 2020). We collected demographic data, details about cesarean delivery, and anesthesia complications. RESULTS: We included 413 parturients undergoing consecutive elective cesarean delivery identified during the study periods: 205 before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and 208 during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We found a statistically significant difference in neuraxial anesthesia rates between the groups: before the pandemic (92/205, 44.8%) and during (165/208, 79.3%; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that patient and provider education about neuraxial anesthesia can increase its utilization. The addition of a trained obstetric anesthesiologist to the team may have facilitated this transition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We planned an observational study to assess obstetric anesthesia services nationwide. We aimed to assess the effect of the anesthesia workload/workforce ratio on quality and safety outcomes of obstetric anesthesia care. METHODS: Observers prospectively collected data from labor units over 72 h (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday). Independent variables were workload (WL) and workforce (WF). WL was assessed by the Obstetric Anesthesia Activity Index (OAAI), which is the estimated time in a 24-h period spent on epidurals and all cesarean deliveries. Workforce (WF) was assessed by the number of anesthesiologists dedicated to the labor ward per week. Dependent variables were the time until anesthesiologist arrival for epidural (quality measure) and the occurrence of general anesthesia for urgent Cesarean section, CS, (safety measure). This census included vaginal deliveries and unscheduled (but not elective) CS. RESULTS: Data on 575 deliveries are from 12 maternity units only, primarily because a major hospital chain chose not to participate; eight other hospitals lacked institutional review board approval. The epidural response rate was 94.4%; 321 of 340 parturients who requested epidural analgesia (EA) received it. Of the 19 women who requested EA but gave birth without it, 14 (77%) were due to late arrival of the anesthesiologist. Median waiting times for anesthesiologist arrival ranged from 5 to 28 min. The OAAI varied from 4.6 to 25.1 and WF ranged from 0 to 2 per shift. Request rates for EA in hospitals serving predominantly orthodox Jewish communities and in peripheral hospitals were similar to those of the entire sample. More than a fifth (13/62; 21%) of the unscheduled CS received general anesthesia, and of these almost a quarter (3/13; 23%) were attributed to delayed anesthesiologist arrival. CONCLUSIONS: Inadequate WF allocations may impair quality and safety outcomes in obstetric anesthesia services. OAAI is a better predictor of WL than delivery numbers alone, especially concerning WF shortage. To assess the quality and safety of anesthetic services to labor units nationally, observational data on workforce, workload, and clinical outcomes should be collected prospectively in all labor units in Israel.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We set out to examine incidence of chronic headache and back pain in women with PDPH after accidental dural puncture during labor. METHODS: Chronic headache, backache, and disability were assessed 18-24 months postpartum. Women with PDPH treated with epidural blood patch (PDPH-EBP) were identified and matched with women who had a PDPH without epidural blood patch (PDPH-no EBP), with women with uncomplicated epidural analgesia and with women without epidural analgesia. Our primary outcome was incidence of chronic headache and backache. Secondary outcome was the effect of epidural blood patch on chronic pain development. We used Chi-square or Fisher's exact test to calculate odds ratios. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in demographic characteristics between groups. In the no epidural group, no women reported chronic headache and 2/116 (1.7%) reported chronic backache. In the uncomplicated epidural group, no women reported chronic headache and 7/116 (6.0%) reported chronic backache. In the PDPH-no EBP group, 9/56 (16.1%) women reported chronic headache and 10/56 (17.9%) reported chronic backache. In the PDPH-EBP group, 12/59 (20.3%) had chronic headache and 14/59 (23.7%) had chronic backache. No women in the no epidural or uncomplicated epidural group reported disability (chronic pain score of 3 or 4). High disability was reported by 8.9% of women in the PDPH-no EBP group and by 8.4% in the PDPH-EBP group. CONCLUSION: Women with PDPH had a high incidence of chronic headache, back pain, and disability. We did not find a statistically significant difference in chronic pain development between conservatively treated and EBP-treated patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a group of pathologies associated with an increased rate of abortions, premature deliveries, cesarean sections and other morbidity during the peripartum period. The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the anesthetic management for delivery of women with IBD. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The records of patients with IBD, who delivered at our Center, were obtained for data which included anesthetic and obstetric management as well as neonatal outcome. Five subgroups were defined based on mode of delivery, presence or absence of epidural in normal vaginal delivery (NVD) and urgency of cesarean section, each of which was compared with control groups of healthy parturients in the same period. Additionally, the rate of cesarean sections and the use of epidural analgesia for NVD were compared with the general obstetric population of our center in the same period. RESULTS: 107 patients with IBD who delivered at our center were studied. The rates of cesarean sections and emergency cesarean sections were significantly higher compared to the general population. However, the rate of instrumental delivery and of epidural analgesia use for NVD were similar. Among those who underwent cesarean sections, no significant differences were found in anesthesia type, surgery duration, number of complications, type of monitoring or postoperative management compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Peripartum anesthetic management of patients with IBD does not differ significantly from that of parturients without it. Anesthesiologists can plan their anesthesia in a similar way as they do in healthy parturients.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare two vascular control options for blood loss prevention and hysterectomy during cesarean delivery (CD2): endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA3) and open bilateral common iliac artery occlusion (CIAO4) in women with extensive placenta accreta spectrum (PAS5). STUDY DESIGN: This was retrospective comparison of cases of PAS using either CIAO (October 2017 through October 2018) or REBOA (November 2018 through November 2019) to prevent pathologic hemorrhage during scheduled CD. Women with confirmed placenta increta/percreta underwent either CD then intraoperative post-delivery, pre-hysterectomy open vascular control of both CIA6 (CIAO group) or pre-operative, ultrasound-guided, fluoroscopy-free REBOA followed by standard CD and balloon inflation after fetal delivery (REBOA group). Intraoperative blood loss, transfusion volumes, surgical time, blood pressure, maternal and neonatal outcomes, hospitalization length and postoperative complications were compared. RESULTS: The REBOA and CIAO groups included 12 and 16 women, respectively, with similar median age of 35 years and gestational age of 34-35 weeks. All REBOA catheters were successfully placed into aortic zone three under ultrasound guidance. The quantitated median intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower for the REBOA group, (541 [IQR 300-750] mL) compared to the CIAO group (3331 [IQR 1150-4750] mL (P = 0.001). As a result, the total volume of fluid and blood replacement therapy was significantly lower in the REBOA group (P < 0.05). Median surgical time in the REBOA group was less than half as long: 76 [IQR 64-89] minutes compared to 168 [IQR 90-222] minutes in the CIAO group (P = 0.001). None of the women with REBOA required hysterectomy, while 8/16 women in the CIAO group did (P = 0.008). Furthermore, the post-anesthesia recovery and hospital discharge times in the REBOA-group were shorter (P < 0.05). One thromboembolic complication occurred in each group. The only REBOA-associated complication was non-occlusive femoral artery thrombosis, with no surgical management required. No maternal or neonatal deaths occurred in either group. CONCLUSION: Fluoroscopy-free REBOA for women with PAS is associated with improved vascular control, perioperative blood loss, the need for transfusion and hysterectomy and reduces surgical time when compared to bilateral CIAO.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Postdural puncture headache after accidental dural puncture during labour may lead to chronic sequalae. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to measure the incidence of postpartum depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, chronic headache, backache and breastfeeding rates after a postdural puncture headache. DESIGN: A retrospective, case-matched cohort study. SETTING: A review of documented cases of dural puncture and matched case controls occurring at Rabin Medical Center and Shamir Medical Center from 01 January 2012 to 30 September 2018. PATIENTS: The study cohort consisted of women with a documented postdural puncture headache and the controls were women with uneventful labour epidurals in the same 24-h period. Women were interviewed by telephone. PRIMARY OUTCOMES MEASURE: The primary outcome measure was the incidence of postpartum depression after a postdural puncture headache. RESULTS: Women with postdural puncture headache (n = 132) and controls (n = 276) had similar demographic data. The incidence of postpartum depression was 67/128 (52.3%) versus 31/276 (11.2%) for controls, P < 0.0001, 95% confidence intervals of the difference 31.5 to 50.2. Posttraumatic stress disorder was more frequent among women with postdural puncture headache, 17/132 (12.8%) versus controls 1/276 (0.4%), P < 0.0001, 95% confidence intervals of the difference 7.6 to 19.5. Women with postdural puncture headache breastfed less, 74/126 (54.5%) versus controls 212/276 (76.8%), P < 0.0001, 95% confidence intervals of the difference 33.1 to 55.2. Current headache and backache were significantly more frequent among women with postdural puncture headache [current headache 42/129 (32.6%) versus controls 42/276 (15.2%) P < 0.00001, 95% confidence intervals 0.085 to 0.266; current backache 58/129 (43.9%) versus controls 58/275 (21%) P < 0.0001, 95% confidence intervals 14.1 to 33.5]. CONCLUSION: We report an increased incidence of postpartum depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, chronic headache and backache and decreased breastfeeding following a postdural puncture headache. Our findings emphasise the need for postpartum follow-up for women with postdural puncture headache. TRIAL REGISTRY NUMBER: Clinical trial registry number: NCT03550586.

RESUMO

Objective: In the last few years there is a trend of transiting from the continuous epidural infusion (CEI) method for epidural analgesia to a new method - programmed intermittent epidural analgesia (PIEB). This change improves the quality of epidural analgesia, thanks to an increased spread of the anaesthetic in the epidural space and higher maternal satisfaction. Nevertheless, we must make sure that such change of method does not lead to worse obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective observational case control study. We compared several obstetrical outcomes between the CEI and PIEB groups, such as the rates of instrumental delivery, rates of caesarean section, duration of first and second stages of labour well as APGAR scores. We further segmented the subjects and examined them in groups of nulliparous and multiparous parturients. Results: 2696 parturients were included in this study: 1387 (51.4%) parturients in the CEI group and 1309 (48.6%) parturients in the PIEB group. No significant difference was found in instrumental or caesarean section delivery rates between groups. This result held even when the groups were differentiated between nulliparous and multiparous. No differences were revealed regarding first and second stage duration or APGAR scores. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates transition from the CEI to the PIEB method does not lead to any statistically significant effects on either obstetric or neonatal outcomes.
