The relationships between epidural anesthesia and selected intrapartum outcomes was examined in 140 first-term pregnancies. Significant relationships were found with four outcomes: increased use of forceps or vacuum extractor, increased length of second stage labor, increased incidence of Cesarean birth, and increased need for oxytocin augmentation. These findings have significant implications for staffing on labor units and costs.
在140例初产妇中研究了硬膜外麻醉与选定的分娩期结局之间的关系。发现与四种结局存在显著关系：产钳或真空吸引器使用增加、第二产程延长、剖宫产发生率增加以及催产素加强的需求增加。这些发现对产房人员配备和成本具有重要意义。
