Best Practices in Second Stage Labor Care: Maternal Bearing Down and Positioning [PDF]

, 2007
Despite evidence of adverse fetal and maternal outcomes from the use of sustained Valsalva bearing down efforts, current second-stage care practices are still characterized by uniform directions to “push” forcefully upon complete dilatation of the cervix

Unintended subdural anesthesia and subdural air bubbles after attempted epidural anesthesia in a patient undergoing cesarean section [PDF]

Anesthesia and Pain Medicine
Background Unintended subdural anesthesia accompanied by air bubbles compressing the cauda after attempting epidural anesthesia is rare. Case A 41-year-old pregnant woman was scheduled to undergo epidural anesthesia for cesarean section. After attempting

Distribution of Bupivacaine in Epidural Space [PDF]

, 2018
Background: There is no consensus regarding the spread of local anesthesia in thoracic epidural space to obtain regional analgesia or anesthesia. We aimed to determine the distribution of Bupivacaine injected into the thoracic epidural space to evaluate ...

Hysteresis in anesthesia and recovery: Experimental observation and dynamical mechanism [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The dynamical mechanism underlying the processes of anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness and recovery is key to gaining insights into the working of the nervous system. Previous experiments revealed an asymmetry between neural signals during the anesthesia and recovery processes.

Alterations in gut microbiota and metabolites contribute to postoperative sleep disturbances

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we classified postoperative patients into poor sleepers (PS) and good sleepers (GS) based on the bispectral index (BIS), and transplanted their fecal microbiota to pseudo‐germ‐free rats to analyze the sleep changes in rats and the potential mechanism.

Directive Versus Supportive Approaches Used by Midwives When Providing Care During the Second Stage of Labor [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction: Although the risks associated with using sustained and forceful maternal bearing‐down efforts during the second stage of labor have been well documented, most women who give birth in the United States bear down in response to direction from

Anatomical Study of the Retrodural Space of Okada in the Cervical Region: 3D Micro‐CT Findings

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The retrodural space of Okada (RSO) is a potential space located posterior to the ligamentum flavum. It can complicate epidural injections owing to its communication with the epidural space and facet joints. The purpose of this study was to clarify the anatomical structures of the cervical RSO and adjacent ligamentous tissues in cadavers ...

Complications of Epidural Anesthesia during Labor

Infusion & Chemotherapy, 2019
. Epidural anesthesia during childbirth is one of the most popular methods of pain relief. The catheter is installed in the epidural space in the lumbar spinal column, followed by the introduction of drugs, eliminating pain in the lower part of the ...
