3 An Easier Life? Patient Obstetric Provider OB Anesthesia Provider Hospital Administrator

4 While Eeyore Frets, And Piglet Hesitates, And Tigger Calculates, Pooh Just Is. The Tao of Pooh

5 Eeyore (Patient) Frets Patient Concerns during Labor: Pain Control Maintain Active Participation Minimize Fetal Effects Cook, Anaesthesia 2000 Eltzschig, NEJM 2003

6 CSE Initial Advantage Epidural CSE Confirmation Absent Present Onset 5-15 min 3-5 min Quality Patchy, Fail <4-13% Fail <4% Motor Deficit Moderate Limited Fetal Effects Minimal Minimal Thomas, Anesthesiology 2005 Norris, IJOA 2000;9:3-6 Eappen S, IJOA 1998;7:220-5 Nageotte NEJM 1997;337:1715-9

12 CSE Ongoing Advantage Conduit for Epidural Meds to the Spinal Sac Sacral Spread Better Coverage Suzuki, A&A G Thomas, Anesth G Cappiello, Tsen G

13 Patient s Life More Easy? YES!!! CSE gives better: Pain Control Technical Confirmation Faster Onset, Greater Reliability Improved Sacral, Bilateral Analgesia Active Participation Minimal Fetal Effects

14 Piglet (OB) Hesitates... OB Provider Concerns Safe and Timely Delivery Progress and Outcome of Labor Good Maternal and Fetal Outcomes Fetal Bradycardia

15 Progress of Labor Dilation (cm) Hours

16 Progress of Labor Meta-Analysis RCT: Epidural vs. Opioids Mixed Parity 1st Stage: 42 min 2nd Stage: 14 min Total Time: 56 min No Change in C/S Halpern: JAMA 1998

17 Progress: CSE Advantage CSE vs. Epidural Boluses Lower Instrumental Delivery Technique Matters? CSE vs Epidural; Epidural Continuous Infusion 100 Nulliparous < 3 cm dilation CSE: Shorter Duration Labor, Delivery: 30 min faster CSE vs. Parenteral Opioids; Epidural Continuous 750 Nulliparous < 4 cm dilation 110 min neuraxial CSE: Shorter Duration Labor, Delivery: 80 min faster Collis, Lancet 1995; Tsen, Anesthesiology 1999; Wong, NEJM 2005

21 Outcome: CSE Advantage Evaluation, Intervention Possible Intervention, Possible Further Intervention Retained Placenta External Cephalic Version Cerclage Removal CSE Spinal Anesthetic Timely discharge Epidural Catheter Analgesia if labor Anesthesia if C/S Anesthesia if O.R. Cherayil, Tsen. Anesth Analg 2002

22 OB Life More Easy? YES!!! CSE Safe and (more!) timely delivery Bradycardia, but no CS; Good maternal and fetal outcomes More Flexibility

23 Pooh (OB Anes) just is... OB Anesthesia Provider Concerns: Fast, Efficacious, Reliable Analgesia/Anesthesia Limited Maternal/Fetal Impact Limited Failure Rate, especially if CS Work Load Sensitive

24 Workload: CSE Advantage CSE...A Few Extra Steps, but... Faster Onset: 7 min x 5000 techniques = 600 hrs Confirmation of Space: High BMI, Scoliosis min x 5000 techniques = 3333 hrs Less Replacements 20 min x 5% x 5000 techniques = 83 hrs TOTAL = 11 hours/day!!!

28 CSE Complications? Cochrane Review: CSE vs Epidural in Labour 19 Trials, 2658 women CSE No increase in maternal hypotension No increase in postdural puncture headache No increase in blood patch use Less urinary retention Simmons SW, et al. Cochrane 2007

29 OB Anesthesia Life Easier? CSE Fast, Efficacious, Reliable Analgesia/Anesthesia Limited Maternal/Fetal Impact Limited Failure Work Load Sensitive YES!!!

30 Tigger (Admin)Calculates... Hospital Administrator PROFIT: CSE Benefit? Good Maternal/Fetal Outcome Standard of Care: JCAHO Patient Recruitment LOSS: CSE Costs Pump, Disposable Costs Manpower Costs

31 CSE: Advantage LOSS: Cost of G Spinal Needle -$5.00 Cost of pre-drawn CSE syringe -$5.00 TOTAL -$10.00 PROFIT: Less Failures, Fewer Replacement Kits +$30.00 Less General Anesthesia, Morbidity/Mortality? + Less Recovery Room Time + Satisfied OBs, OB Anesthesia Providers + Satisfied Patients, Word of Mouth +Priceless!

32 Tigger s Life Easier? YES!!! Hospital Administrator CSE/PCEA Profit: Non-Specific Good Maternal/Fetal Outcome Standard of Care: JCAHO Patient Word of Mouth CSE/PCEA Loss: Fixed Needle, Pump, Disposable Costs
