چکیده
Objectives: To compare the effects of different labor analgesia in controlling childbirth pain and seek more effective and reliable pain management strategy during natural childbirth in order to reduce maternal pain and promote natural childbirth. Methods: 400 cases of successful delivery with labor analgesia in our hospital during 2010 and 2014 were enrolled in this study, including 200 cases of nitrous oxide inhalation and 200 cases of patient-controlled epidural analgesia. The effects of the two labor analgesia were compared with pain scaling and patient satisfactory survey. And the results were statistically analyzed with χ2 test using SPSS13.0 software. Results: Patient-controlled epidural analgesia showed better analgesic effect than nitrous oxide inhalation, with better pain control (analgesic effect rate of 93% vs 50%, pain relief rate of 98% in patient-controlled epidural analgesia vs 50% in nitrous oxide inhalation group), and better maternal and family satisfaction rate (satisfaction rate of 99% in patient-controlled epidural analgesia vs 50% in nitrous oxide inhalation group). Conclusion: Patient-controlled epidural analgesia is superior to nitrous oxide inhalation in controlling childbirth pain.

Remifentanil for labour analgesia: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
CONTEXT Remifentanil is a potent short-acting μ-opioid receptor agonist which is rapidly metabolised in the mother and fetus and may be ideal for labour analgesia. OBJECTIVES To assess efficacy and safety of remifentanil compared with other analgesic techniques for labour pain. DATA SOURCES We systematically searched the central register of controlled trials of the Cochrane Library (till Au...
متن کاملNitrous Oxide During Labor: Maternal Satisfaction Does Not Depend Exclusively on Analgesic Effectiveness.
BACKGROUND Evidence on the analgesic effectiveness of nitrous oxide for labor pain is limited. Even fewer studies have looked at patient satisfaction. Although nitrous oxide appears less effective than neuraxial analgesia, it is unclear whether labor analgesic effectiveness is the most important factor in patient satisfaction. We sought to compare the relationship between analgesic effectivenes...

The authors performed a meta-analysis and found that epidural analgesia overall provided superior postoperative analgesia compared with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia. For all types of surgery and pain assessments, all forms of epidural analgesia (both continuous epidural infusion and patient-controlled epidural analgesia) provided significantly superior postoperative analgesia compar...
متن کاملThe nature and management of labor pain: part II. Pharmacologic pain relief.
A group of family physicians, obstetricians, midwives, obstetric anesthesiologists, and childbirth educators attended an evidence-based symposium in 2001 on the nature and management of labor pain and discussed a series of systematic reviews that focused on methods of labor pain management. Parenteral opioids provide modest pain relief in labor, and little evidence supports the use of one agent...
