The Maternal and Neonatal Glycemic Stress Response in Normal Vaginal Delivery: A Comparative Study Between Epidural and Parenteral Opioids Analgesia.

Background: It has been recognized that the type of anesthetic and analgesic technique and the relative pain degree may have an influence on hyperglycemic-stress response to surgery. This comparative study aimed to assess glucose levels in both mothers and infants during normal vaginal delivery. This study aimed to investigate this stress response between mothers who received parenteral analgesia versus epidural analgesia (EA) as an objective reflection for pain response.

Assessment of risk factors for postdural puncture headache in women undergoing cesarean delivery in Jordan: a retrospective analytical study.

Purpose: Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most recognized complications after spinal anesthesia in women undergoing cesarean delivery. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of PDPH and its associated risk factors in women undergoing cesarean delivery in Jordan.

Patients And Methods: This study included all women who underwent cesarean delivery at King Abdullah University Hospital in Jordan during 2015.
