Abstract
Purpose: To explore the effect of dural puncture epidural (DPE) block technique on fetal heart rate variability (HRV) during labor analgesia.
Methods: Sixty full-term primiparas who were in our hospital from April 2021 to October 2021 were selected and randomized into epidural analgesia (CEA) and dural puncture epidural analgesia (DPEA) groups (n = 30). After a successful epidural puncture, routine epidural catheter (EC) was performed in CEA group, and spinal anesthesia needle (as an EC) was used to puncture the dura mater to subarachnoid space in DPE group. Anesthetics were injected through EC. The time when the temperature sensation plane reached T10 (W1) and visual analog pain score (VAS), baseline heart rate score, amplitude variation score, cycle variation score, acceleration score, deceleration score, and total score of the first contraction after W1 were recorded. Apgar scores at 1 min, 5 min, and 10 min of neonates after delivery were recorded.
Results: The onset time of anesthesia in CEA group was significantly longer than that in DPEA group (p < .05). However, there are no significant differences in W1, VAS, baseline heart rate score, amplitude variation score, cycle variation score, acceleration score, deceleration score, and total score of the first contraction after W1 between the two groups (p > .05). Moreover, the Apgar scores at 1 min, 5 min and 10 min of neonates after delivery were not notably different between the two groups (p > .05).
Conclusion: Compared with CEA, DPE block technique in labor analgesia relieves maternal pain without adverse effects on fetal HRV and newborns.
