Non-neuraxial labour analgesia.

Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol

Department of Anaesthesia, Ulster Hospital, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Epidural analgesia is considered the gold standard for labour pain but may not be an option for all parturients due to patient choice or medical contraindication. Non-neuraxial alternatives for labour analgesia have been extensively studied and include both pharmacological and non-pharmacological options. Pharmacological options include the use of opioids and inhalational agents while non-pharmacological options range from non-invasive methods such as continuous labour support to techniques such as sterile water injection.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between Bispectral Index (BIS) and age-adjusted Minimum Alveolar Concentration (aaMAC) during anesthesia maintenance in adults.
  • Factors such as age, ASA status, and specific anesthetic agents were found to influence BIS readings, indicating that older patients and those given certain drugs showed higher BIS at the same aaMAC.
  • A generalized estimation equation was developed to predict either BIS or aaMAC based on known values, despite significant variances in their relationship.

The concept of "blue carbon" is, in this study, critically evaluated with respect to its definitions, measuring approaches, and time scales. Blue carbon deposited in ocean sediments can only counteract anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if stored on a long-term basis. The focus here is on the coastal blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), mangrove forests, saltmarshes, and seagrass meadows due to their high primary production and large carbon stocks.
