Exploratory analysis of contributory factors for cerebral palsy during labor involving neuraxial analgesia: From the Japan Obstetric Compensation System for Cerebral Palsy
Aim
This study aimed to reveal factors contributing to cerebral palsy owing to intrapartum hypoxia during labor involving neuraxial analgesia using a nationwide database in Japan.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 102 reports of cases involving the use of anesthesia during labor, selected from reports on the causes of cerebral palsy, which were analyzed by the Japan Obstetric Compensation System Causal Analysis Committee between 2009 and 2019. Among these, 85 deliveries involved neuraxial analgesia. Of these, 39 cases were identified in which cerebral palsy was associated with intrapartum hypoxia and acidosis. These cases were classified into three categories based on the presumed contributing factors to cerebral palsy, namely anesthesia-related complications, obstetric complications, and labor progress. Clinical characteristics and intrapartum management issues were descriptively analyzed.
Results
Neuraxial analgesia was implicated in five of the 39 cases (12.8%), with direct involvement in one case of total spinal anesthesia. Obstetric complications (20.5%) and labor progress-related issues (76.9%) were more frequently associated with cerebral palsy. Intrapartum management problems were identified in most cases, including inappropriate cardiotocography interpretation (79.5%) and uterotonic use (38.5%). Anesthesia-related concerns, such as insufficient maternal or fetal monitoring, were observed in some cases.
Conclusions
Neuraxial analgesia was infrequently the direct cause of cerebral palsy; however, suboptimal labor management was identified in many cases. Improved monitoring, timely intervention, and standardized protocols are essential to reduce cerebral palsy risk during neuraxial analgesia-supported deliveries. Although rare, serious anesthesia-related complications also underscore the significance of vigilance in anesthetic practice.
