5 Hypnosis for pain management during labour and childbirth (Review) Madden K, Middleton P, Cyna AM, Matthewson M, Jones L This is a reprint of a Cochrane review, prepared and maintained by The Cochrane Collaboration and published in The Cochrane Library 2012, Issue 11

6 Authors conclusions... Although the intervention shows some promise, further research is needed before recommendations can be made regarding its clinical usefulness for pain management in maternity care.

7 Inhaled analgesia for pain management in labour (Review) Klomp T, van Poppel M, Jones L, Lazet J, Di Nisio M, Lagro-Janssen ALM This is a reprint of a Cochrane review, prepared and maintained by The Cochrane Collaboration and published in The Cochrane Library 2012, Issue 9

8 Authors conclusions Inhaled analgesia appears to be effective in reducing pain intensity and in giving pain relief in labour.... nitrous oxide appears to result in even more side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness and drowsiness...

Hawkins, M.D. (ASA) state, There is no other circumstance where it is considered acceptable for an individual to experience untreated severe pain, amenable to safe intervention, while under a physician s care. In the absence of a medical contraindication, maternal request is a sufficient medical indication for pain relief during labor. 2 Although severe pain is not life-threatening in healthy parturient women, it can

13 The new england journal of medicine established in 1812 february 17, 2005 vol. 352 no. 7 The Risk of Cesarean Delivery with Neuraxial Analgesia Given Early versus Late in Labor Cynthia A. Wong, M.D., Barbara M. Scavone, M.D., Alan M. Peaceman, M.D., Robert J. McCarthy, Pharm.D., John T. Sullivan, M.D., Nathaniel T. Diaz, M.D., Edward Yaghmour, M.D., R-Jay L. Marcus, M.D., Saadia S. Sherwani, M.D., Michelle T. Sproviero, M.D., Meltem Yilmaz, M.D., Roshani Patel, R.N., Carmen Robles, R.N., and Sharon Grouper, B.S. conclusions Neuraxial analgesia in early labor did not increase the rate of cesarean delivery, and it provided better analgesia and resulted in a shorter duration of labor than systemic analgesia.

22 INCREDIBLE PAIN continued all night - I eventually got on Remifentanil - the new morphine based drug which you self-administer, dosing yourself when you need it. It was absolutely WONDERFUL. Didn't actually stop you feeling pain but does stop you caring about it. I got absolutely sky high, thoroughly amused the midwife by talking utter rubbish,., I even started seeing things - including Nelson Mandela on a bicycle... blooming weird but there you go.

Baysinger MD (Associate Professor) a,, Jason E. Pope MD (Partner) a,b, Ellen M. Lockhart MD (Associate Professor) c, Nathaniel D. Mercaldo MS (Biostatistician III) d Main Results: responses were collected. Respondents reported placing an epidural 75% of the time and an intrathecal catheter 25% of the time following ADP. Common prophylactic and conservative treatment strategies included hydration, caffeine, and opioids by mouth; 76% of respondents leave an intrathecal catheter in place for 24 hours to reduce the frequency of headache. Epidural blood patches are placed by 81% of practitioners less than 24 hours after headache onset. Conclusions: Protocols for ADP management are rare. There is wide variation in catheter management

C. Apfel 1 *, A. Saxena 1, O. S. Cakmakkaya 2, R. Gaiser 3,4,5, E. George 1 and O. Radke 6 1 Key points PDPH occurs in.50% of cases of accidental dural puncture. Various treatments including intrathecal catheter, epidural saline or morphine, and prophylactic blood patch have been studied. All have shown some efficacy; no clear recommendation can be made. Large, multicentre randomized controlled trials are needed to identify best treatment option.

41 Authors conclusions There appears to be little basis for offering CSE over epidurals in labour... However, the significantly higher incidence of urinary retention, rescue interventions and instrumental deliveries with traditional techniques would favour the historical use of low-dose epidurals...
