Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique in labor analgesia.
Methods A total of 80 pregnant women with intraspinal delivery analgesia were selected and randomly divided into DPE group and epidural (EP) block group, with 40 cases in each group. The onset time of analgesia, the number of compression of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA), the total dosage of pump, analgesia time, adverse reactions, anesthesia plane, deceleration of fetal heart rate, satisfaction degree and neonatal Apgar score were compared between the two groups.
Results Compared with the EP group, the onset time of analgesia in the DPE group was significantly shorter, the number of compression of PCEA and total dosage of pump were significantly lower, and the satisfaction degree was significantly higher (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in analgesic time, adverse reactions, anesthesia level, deceleration of fetal heart rate and neonatal Apgar score between the two groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion DPE has the characteristics of rapid onset, safety and effectiveness in labor analgesia, and the overall satisfaction degree of pregnant women is higher.
