Filter by:Patient controlled remifentanil analgesia might offer comparative overall patient satisfaction and improved quality of analgesia after normal labour with continuous epidural analgesia.
This study is being done to better understand how patient positioning can affect pain relief after an epidural. In addition to pain, the investigators will assess how position affects epidural spread, and its effects on maternal blood pressure and fetal heart rate.
Analysis of monitored clinically parameters during the course of labor is a seldom studied area in Taiwan and worldwide. Important monitored parameters include, fetal heartbeat, uterine contractions, oxygen saturation and blood pressure, among others.1 During labor, uterine contractions can cause pain.3 This pain may be measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS).2 The pain from uterine contractions promotes the release of hormones including cortisol which can cause decreased or irregular contractions and possibly prolong labor.3 This study aims to study the association between monitored clinical parameters and pain in women in Taiwan during labor in order to increase the understanding to safe childbirth.
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of using lidocaine patches after cesarean section on pain control and opioid use in the immediate post-operative period. The hypothesis is the use of lidocaine patches in the immediate post-operative period will lead to a decrease in the use of opioids as pain control compared to patients that do not have a lidocaine patch in place. Additionally, the a decrease in the visual analog pain score compared to women who do not use a lidocaine patch in the immediate post-operative period following cesarean delivery is anticipated.
Objective: To determine the effect that focusing attention on the plant, Maryam's Flower, has on pregnant women's perception of pain, level of comfort and labor satisfaction during the first phase of labor. Method: This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted with an intervention group (n=61) and control group (n=63) involving primipara pregnant women who were at 1 cm cervical dilatation. The pregnant women in the intervention group were asked to focus their attention on Maryam's flower opening its leaf buds and imagine the labor's progress during the course of their labor. The control group only received standard midwifery care. Each group was administered the VAS at specific times (at 4-5 cm, 6-7 cm, and 8-9 cm cervical dilatation) to determine their level of labor pain. The Childbirth Comfort Questionnaire (CCQ) was also administered when the women were at 4-5 cm and 8-9 cm cervical dilatation to determine their level of birth comfort. The duration of labor was monitored using a partograph form. Finally, the Birth Satisfaction Scale was applied to determine the women's satisfaction with the labor in the 2nd hour of the postpartum period.
This study investigates efficacy, safety and childbirth experience in women receiving pudendal block during the final stage of delivery. It is an observational study and half of included primarous women recieve a pudendal block.
Aim: This study aimed to examine the effects of sacral massage and hot application on labor pain and comfort level perceptions in pregnant women. Methods: This randomized controlled experimental study included hot application, massage and control groups, each having 30 primiparous pregnant women whose cervix was dilated to 4-5 cm. The intervention groups were given a sacral massage or sacral hot application, whereas the control group was given only standard midwifery care during 4-5, 6-7, and 8-9 cm cervical dilation. The data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, the Childbirth Comfort Questionnaire (CCQ), and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).
This study was performed to determine the impact of different acupressure procedures, performed on women's hands during labor, on endorphin levels and labor pain perception. The sample consisted of 140 pregnant women. The study was conducted with three experimental groups and one control group, each including 35 pregnant women. Conventional acupressure and warm and cold acupressure procedures were performed on the Large Intestinal 4 energy meridian zone acupressure point of the experimental group. No procedures were performed on the women in the control group. Data were collected using a "Personal Information Form", "Labor Intervention Follow-up Form", "Visual Analog Scale" and "Verbal Category Scale". The comparison between the experimental and control groups indicated that the conventional acupressure procedure was effective in reducing labor pain and that the warm acupressure procedure increased endorphin levels.
This is a mixed methods longitudinal observational study to assess patient and provider perspectives on pain and pain management among pregnant women with opiate use disorder (OUD). The findings from this study will inform patient-centered approaches to pain management. Themes surrounding mothers' pain/recovery experiences that correlate with quantified pain and analgesia endpoints will be identified. Findings will also shape an appropriate patient-centered research agenda for obstetric pain management in patients with OUD.
The three standard techniques used for labor analgesia, thus epidural, combined spinal-epidural and dural puncture epidural will be compared regarding their impact on pain intensity, analgesic and local anesthetic consumption and course of vaginal delivery in a prospective, randomised, double blind manner
