Article Synopsis
- Epidural analgesia (EA) is widely used and recognized as an effective method for reducing labor pain, with its application ranging from 20% to 70% of deliveries.
- A study at Mancha-Centro Hospital analyzed 2,947 deliveries from 2012 to 2016, focusing on neonatal morbidity (NM) outcomes based on specific criteria like umbilical artery pH and need for resuscitation.
- The findings revealed no significant relationship between EA and NM during labor, but indicated that instrumental deliveries significantly increase the risk of neonatal morbidity compared to normal vaginal deliveries.
