Clinical Analysis of Epidural Labor Analgesia

Objective: To investigate the effect of epidural labor analgesia on delivery. Method: Fifty cases of maternal with labor analgesia were randomly enforcement as analgesia group. Fifty cases non-given analgesia primipara were selected as the control group during the same period. The analgesia effect, stage of labor, postpartum haemorrhage and the status of the newborn were observed. Result:(1)The difference of pain of the pregnant women between two groups were statistically significant(P0.05).(2)Comparison the stage of labor and postpartum haemorrhage between the two groups, there were no statistical significance(P0.05).(3)Natural childbirth rate of analgesia group was higher than that of the control group, the difference was statisticall significance(P0.05). Cesarean section rate of the analgesia group was lower than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P0.05). There was no statistical significance in the rate of instrumental delivery between the two groups(P0.05).(4)The neonatal Apgar score had no statistical significance between the two groups(P0.05). Conclusion: Epidural labor analgesia is safe and effective without prolonged labor, increase postpartum haemorrhage amount and affect the neonatal Apgar score. Epidural labor analgesia play a positive role in improving natural births and reduce cesarean section rate, is worthy being popularized and applied.
