Childbirth Experience

Women�s perception on childbirth experience is frequently related to pain struggle, regardless the type of birth. We aimed to present our Department�s experience on pharmacologically treating postpartum related pain. We developed a 6 months retrospective, descriptive study which included a number of 305 patients. Two sample patients were formed depending on the type of birth. In the sample of vaginal delivery a correlation between episiotomy and Paracetamol consumption was found (Pearson correlation of 0.238). In the sample of cesarean section births, for Acupan, Ketoprofen and Algifen the correlations with epidural anesthesia are negative and statistically significant at the 99.9% confidence level.

Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells take part in the early immunological response to infection. Their lower cytotoxic activity in the neonates, especially premature ones, compared to children and adults, is assumed to be one of the factors responsible for high susceptibility to infections. Moreover, alterations in every components of immune response during anesthesia and surgery have been suggested. The numbers of natural killer cells are decreased postoperatively. The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of the mode and time of delivery on the number of leukocytes, number and percentage of lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. The NK cells were examined by the three-color flow cytometry with the use of monoclonal antibodies of Becton Dickinson in the following study groups: (1) full-term neonates born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (n=19); (2) preterm neonates born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (n=15); (3) full-term neonates born by elective cesarean section under epidural anesthesia (n=23); (4) preterm neonates born by cesarean section under epidural anesthesia (n=22). The number of leukocytes was similar in all examined neonates. The numbers of leukocytes were lower albeit not significantly in preterm neonates born by cesarean section. The numbers of lymphocytes were also similar in all examined neonates but the percentage of lymphocytes was higher in the preterm neonates than in the full-term ones (p<0,05). The number and percentage of natural killer (NK) cells were higher in the neonates born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery both full-term and preterm ones. The significant lowest value of NK cells was in the preterm neonates born by cesarean section under epidural anesthesia. These results suggest that either mode of delivery or time of delivery might influence the NK cell numbers in the umbilical cord blood of the neonates.

Uterine Scar

The frequency of the Cesarean section leads to increase number of the patients with the scar on the uterus. In the Clinical hospital № 1 (Smolensk, Russia) the childbirth is carried out through natural birth canal on the women having a reliable scar on the uterus. The analysis of the vaginal delivery and labour outcomes in 69 patients with the scar on the uterus is carried out. The childbirth in 38 patients was conducted with the epidurals, in 31 patients – without this type of anesthesia. The efficiency and safety of the epidural anesthesia are shown. The obtained results confirm that the epidural anesthesia doesn&#180;t complicate the labour, doesn&#180;t increase the hospitalization term, doesn&#180;t influence the bleeding and negative effects on the fetus condition and the newborn assessment according to Apgar score. The possibility of using epidural anesthesia at childbirth on the women with uterine scar during the dystocia is shown.

Abstract Background: At present, most pregnant with preeclampsia choose direct cesarean section. Whether cesarean section after vaginal trial affects the outcome of mother and child and its related risk factorsIt are still unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors and maternal-neonatal outcomes in severe preeclampsia patients who undergo transfer-cesarean section during vaginal labor. Methods: For this retrospective study, patient with severe preeclampsia data from 2015 to 2019 was collected. Study participants were women with severe preeclampsia having a cesarean section during week 34 and 41 of gestation.The population was classified into three groups: patients with severe preeclampsia had cesarean section directly, patients with severe preeclampsia had vaginal deliveries and patients with severe preeclampsia who sufferred from transfer-cesarean section in the vaginal labor. The demographic variables and maternal-fetal outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: (1) 34%(553/1626) severe preeclampsia had labor induction or natural labor and the ratio of transfer-cesarean section after trial of labor was 39% (216/553) . (2)There was a greater incidence of postpartum haemorrhage (7.7% versus 4.5%),the need for blood transfusion (2.4% versus 0.6%) and more than 7 days of hospitalization (10.4% versus 0.6%) in patients submitted to direct caesarean section compared with vaginal delivery.Apgar score at 5 min <7score and admission of NICU (7.5% versus 2.7%;26.0% versus 18.4%) in the neonates were significantly higher in the direct cesarean section group compared with vaginal delivery,but no difference between direct cesarean section group and transfer cesarean section.(3)When multiple logistic regression analysis was performed,the variables that remained significantly associated with transfer cesarean section were cephalopelvic disproportion (OR ¼ 2.13; 95% CI: 1.43–8.13) and fetal distress (OR ¼ 2.42; 95% CI: 1.76–6.65). Conclusion: Vaginal delivery can be recommended to pregnants with severe preeclampsia as long as there are no contraindications for vaginal delivery. Attempting but failing vaginal delivery would not increase the complications of mother and neonates,but fetal monitoring and labor evaluation should be strengthen during the process of labor.

We would like to present the first report of severe acute dystonic reaction after a single administration of metoclopramide during cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia.  During elective cesarean section, a 30-year-old female vomited four times and was treated with 10mg intravenous metoclopramide and 8mg intravenous ondansetron.  Nausea subsided with the antiemetic treatment, but two minutes later, patient had rapid eye blinking, uncontrollable head movement, and became unresponsive.  Bolus of 50mg intravenous diphenhydramine resolved the acute dystonic symptoms within seconds.  Patient was again oriented times three, with no recollection of symptoms, and remained symptom free for the rest of admission.
