Objectives: Recently, intravenous acetaminophen has been introduced as an intervention with analgesic potential similar to that of opioid analgesics in labor pain management. This study aimed to compare the pain score and maternal and neonatal complications following acetaminophen and pethidine injections during vaginal delivery. Methods: This randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted on pregnant women during the first stage of delivery referred to Ghaem and Omolbanin Hospitals in Mashhad, Iran, from March to December 2017. The subjects were assigned randomly to one of two groups: acetaminophen and pethidine. The pain intensity was measured before and 15, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after injection. Results: The pain score and pain score changes showed no significant difference between the two groups at different times. The incidence of maternal complications during delivery and the first hour after delivery was not statistically significant between the two groups, but 15 minutes after injection, vomiting (p = 0.001), nausea (p = 0.001), and dizziness (p = 0.001) were significantly higher in the pethidine group. The mean one and five minutes Apgar scores were significantly higher in the acetaminophen group. Conclusions: Intravenous acetaminophen led to fewer maternal complications than pethidine, especially during the first 15 minutes after injection and fewer neonatal complications, especially in the Apgar score.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: As the rates of cesarean births have increased, the type of cesarean anesthesia has gained importance. Here, we aimed to compare the effects of general and spinal anesthesia on maternal and fetal outcomes in term singleton cases undergoing elective cesarean section.DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial in a tertiary-level public hospital.METHODS: Our study was conducted on 100 patients who underwent cesarean section due to elective indications. The patients were randomly divided into general anesthesia (n = 50) and spinal anesthesia (n = 50) groups. The maternal pre and postoperative hematological results, intra and postoperative hemodynamic parameters and perinatal results were compared between the groups.RESULTS: Mean bowel sounds (P = 0.036) and gas discharge time (P = 0.049) were significantly greater and 24th hour hemoglobin difference values (P = 0.001) were higher in the general anesthesia group. The mean hematocrit and hemoglobin values at the 24th hour (P = 0.004 and P < 0.001, respectively), urine volume at the first postoperative hour (P < 0.001) and median Apgar score at the first minute (P < 0.0005) were significantly higher, and the time that elapsed until the first requirement for analgesia was significantly longer (P = 0.042), in the spinal anesthesia group.CONCLUSION: In elective cases, spinal anesthesia is superior to general anesthesia in terms of postoperative comfort. In pregnancies with a risk of fetal distress, it would be appropriate to prefer spinal anesthesia by taking the first minute Apgar score into account.

Objective. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of spinal anesthesia with subdiaphragmatic lidocaine at the beginning of surgery versus spinal anesthesia in pain reduction for gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods. This was a clinical trial conducted in Arash Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Eighty-four patients were randomized to either spinal anesthesia with subdiaphragmatic lidocaine, spinal anesthesia, or general anesthesia (GA). The primary outcome was patients’ pain perception during surgery, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours after surgery, and prior to discharge and was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). Results. The results showed that there are no significant changes in pain perception over time in none of the three groups (F(4,76) = 0.37, P=0.82). The severity of pain experienced by patients at all-time interval after surgery was similar between groups [F(2,79) = 0.54, P=0.58]. Conclusion. The use of subdiaphragmatic lidocaine at the beginning of surgery combined with spinal anesthesia was not associated with a statistically significant difference in patients’ postoperative VAS scores compared to spinal anesthesia and GA during and after gynecological surgical procedures. The study was registered in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trial by the number of IRCT2016022226698N1.

Background/Aim. Epidural anesthesia (EA) is the most efficient method of pain reduction and its total elimination during delivery. The aim of this study was to establish an influence of EA on the first and the second part of delivery process, frequency of vacuum extractor and forceps appliance, and the effect of EA on the newborn. Methods. A total of 360 patients with EA were analyzed at delivery and 1 130 controls without EA. Both groups had vaginal delivery. In both groups deliveries were stimulated by 10 IU of oxytocin in 500 mL of crystalloid solvent, with 15-20 drops per minute. As anaesthetic, Bupivacain (0,25% or 0, 125%) was used by the 18 G catheters Braun and Wigon. Level of application was L2-L3 part of spine. Results. The results of this study indicate that deliveries with EA were shorter in duration, but also had much more vacuum extractor and forceps appliance (over 2.5 times) than those without EA. Apgar score was significantly higher in the experimental group with multiple deliveries. However, there was no significant deference between average Apgar score of newborns of patients with EA and that of newborns of patients without EA. Conclusion. Application of EA decreases duration of delivery, and has no any adverse effects on newborns.

Background: The main aim of this study is to determine the maternal and fetal outcome of pregnancy among women with one previous caesarean section at term in relation to vaginal delivery, post partum complication, neonatal complication like low Apgar score, fetal weight and admission in special baby unit. Methods: This is a prospective and descriptive study done in a sample size of 100. Inclusion criteria were term pregnancy, single live fetus with cephalic presentation with one previous caesarean section. During study period total number of obstetric admissions was 3546 and 115 cases were admitted with previous one caesarean section. Result: Out of 100 cases, 31 cases had vaginal delivery and 69 cases had caesarean section. Among 31 vaginal deliveries, 24 cases had spontaneous vaginal delivery and 7 had assisted delivery with vacuum, main indication of vacuum delivery was to cut short the second stage of labor that was in 5(71.43%) cases. Among 69 caesarean section cases, 51 had emergency caesarean section and 18 had elective caesarean section and cephalopelvic disproportion was the main indication in both the groups. Most common complication was scar dehiscence and postpartum hemorrhage. There were two still births in each group and one minute APGAR score was slightly better in caesarean section. Conclusions: Patients with previous caesarean section are at high risk of repeat emergency or elective caesarean section. About one in three patients with previous caesarean section delivered vaginally. In the present study postpartum hemorrhage was the commonest complication, which was found in caesarean section, and only  one puerperal pyrexia was seen in case of vaginal delivery.

CONTEXT: Recent studies have shown that local anesthesia for loop colostomy closure is as safe as spinal anesthesia for this procedure. OBJECTIVES: Randomized clinical trial to compare the results from these two techniques. METHODS: Fifty patients were randomized for loop colostomy closure using spinal anesthesia (n = 25) and using local anesthesia (n = 25). Preoperatively, the bowel was evaluated by means of colonoscopy, and bowel preparation was performed with 10% oral mannitol solution and physiological saline solution for lavage through the distal colostomy orifice. All patients were given prophylactic antibiotics (cefoxitin). Pain, analgesia, reestablishment of peristaltism or peristalsis, diet reintroduction, length of hospitalization and rehospitalization were analyzed postoperatively. RESULTS: Surgery duration and local complications were greater in the spinal anesthesia group. Conversion to general anesthesia occurred only with spinal anesthesia. There was no difference in intraoperative pain between the groups, but postoperative pain, reestablishment of peristaltism or peristalsis, diet reintroduction and length of hospitalization were lower with local anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS: Local anesthesia plus sedation offers a safer and more effective method than spinal anesthesia for loop colostomy closure.
