Insight into the abnormal cardiotocographic patterns following neuraxial analgesia for pain management in labor
BACKGROUND
Neuraxial analgesia (NA) is widely used for pain management in labor but may be associated with abnormal fetal heart rate patterns, including prolonged decelerations.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate decelerations and fetal bradycardia following neuraxial analgesia (NA; epidural, combined spinal-epidural, or spinal) in labor, in terms of frequency, associated factors, and outcomes. The primary objective was to determine whether maternal hypotension (SBP<100 mmHg or DBP<60 mmHg), uterine hyperstimulation (ie, exaggerated response to uterine stimulants presenting as a prolonged contractions for over 2 minutes), or other potentially implicated factors are associated with prolonged deceleration (lasting more than 3 minutes) after NA (PDAA).
STUDY DESIGN
We retrospectively analyzed data of 898 singletons term pregnant women who underwent NA during labor. Data were retrieved from a prospectively collected database and medical records. All cardiotocographic tracings were manually reviewed from at least 10 minutes before NA to delivery. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to explore the associations between demographic, obstetric, and clinical characteristics and the occurrence of PDAA within 30 minutes after NA.
RESULTS
PDAA occurred in 6.57% (59/898; 95% CI 5.08%–8.44%) of women within 30 minutes after NA. Uterine hyperstimulation was significantly more frequent in those with PDAA [39% (23/59) vs 5.4% (45/839); P<.001], who also reported higher preanalgesia pain scores [9.7 (0.94) vs 8.9 (2.04); P=.003]. No significant differences were found between groups in systolic/diastolic blood pressure or the prevalence of maternal hypotension. Nulliparity (OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.01–1.06; P=.048), uterine hyperstimulation (OR 11.4, 95% CI 5.48–23.7; P<.001), and higher pain intensity at time 0 (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.10–2.30; P=.007) were independently associated with PDAA.
CONCLUSION
Uterine hyperstimulation appeared to be the strongest factor associated with PDAA. The role of uterine hyperstimulation due to a rapid drop in catecholamines in the occurrence of PDAA may be further supported by the association with higher preanalgesia pain intensity and nulliparity. Conversely, postanalgesia hypotension did not appear to be a key factor.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) is a highly esteemed publication with two companion titles. One of these is the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Maternal-Fetal Medicine (AJOG MFM), which is dedicated to the latest research in the field of maternal-fetal medicine, specifically concerning high-risk pregnancies. The journal encompasses a wide range of topics, including:
Maternal Complications: It addresses significant studies that have the potential to change clinical practice regarding complications faced by pregnant women.
Fetal Complications: The journal covers prenatal diagnosis, ultrasound, and genetic issues related to the fetus, providing insights into the management and care of fetal health.
Prenatal Care: It discusses the best practices in prenatal care to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the unborn child.
Intrapartum Care: It provides guidance on the care provided during the childbirth process, which is critical for the safety of both mother and baby.
Postpartum Issues: The journal also tackles issues that arise after childbirth, focusing on the postpartum period and its implications for maternal health. AJOG MFM serves as a reliable forum for peer-reviewed research, with a preference for randomized trials and meta-analyses. The goal is to equip researchers and clinicians with the most current information and evidence-based strategies to effectively manage high-risk pregnancies and to provide the best possible care for mothers and their unborn children.
