Time to Get Comfortable with a Labour Epidural

Abstract: Women frequently request regional analgesia during labour, yet little is known about how long it takes before they become comfortable. This prospective observational study aimed to determine various time-points following maternal request for regional analgesia in labour until comfort was achieved. It was conducted in two tertiary referral centres for maternity care in Australia between December 2009 and May 2010. Midwives and anaesthetists recorded times of maternal request for regional analgesia, anaesthetist… Show more

“…It is enlightening to revisit these non-cited articles to assess their individual merit. Twelve of the 30 articles were clinical reports on a range of topics: airway management in patients with retrosternal goitre 2 , hydroperoxide concentrations in cardiac surgical patients 3 , diabetic status and haemofiltration requirements 4 , magnetic resonance imaging and core body temperature 5 , statins and insulin requirements 6 , glycaemic control and long term outcomes 7 , sterile water treatment of hypernatraemia 8 , caudal analgesia for circumcision 9 , anaesthetic techniques and immune responses 10 , epidural request to comfort intervals 11 , dexmedetomidine for short procedures 12 , and parecoxib and paracetamol for minor day-stay surgery 13 . Two were clinical audits: one on anaesthesia-related haemodynamic complications in patients with Williams syndrome 14 and the other on adequacy of intraoperative echocardiographic images 15 .…”

“…Assuming no contraindications are present, labor epidural analgesia should ultimately depend on patient preference, although provider attitudes and biases may also influence the patient's decision-making. Given the severity of labor pain 12 and the time taken for a patient to become comfortable after epidural initiation, 13 interprofessional co-operation and timely communication are paramount. 14 Interdisciplinary attitudes toward the timing of epidural placement would ideally be congruent, however it is uncertain if different providers prioritize different factors when counseling patients.…”
