Preparation for childbirth (Lamaze classes) is becoming an increasingly popular addition to patient education. This retrospective study investigates its effect on 64 primiparas in comparison with a control group who had not taken classes. The two groups were matched for age, antenatal risk scores, ethnic derivation, and socioeconomic status. No difference was found in the use of analgesia and anesthesia, the length of labor, type of delivery, incidence of fetal distress, infant birth weights, Apgar scores, or maternal and neonatal complications. However, there was a statistically significant increase in the use of oxytocin for augmentation of labor (P less than 0.01) in the prepared group.
分娩准备课程（拉玛泽课程）在患者教育中越来越受欢迎。这项回顾性研究调查了64名初产妇参加该课程的效果，并与未参加课程的对照组进行了比较。两组在年龄、产前风险评分、种族和社会经济地位方面进行了匹配。在镇痛和麻醉的使用、产程长度、分娩方式、胎儿窘迫发生率、婴儿出生体重、阿氏评分或母婴并发症方面未发现差异。然而，准备组中用于加强宫缩的缩宫素使用量有统计学显著增加（P小于0.01）。
