Neonatal Outcomes in Labor After Intravenous Remifentanil Analgesia vs. Epidural Analgesia: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Background Some evidence indicates that maternal analgesia during labor may have adverse effects on neonates due to exposure to specific drugs or the potential effects of analgesia on the course of labor. We assessed the clinical outcome of term neonates born to mothers who received epidural analgesia (E) or systemic analgesia with remifentanil (R) during labor. Methods Data was collected retrospectively over one year.
