Second Stage Of Labour

Background: Women delivering in upright position have shorter labour due to efficient and stronger contractions with faster descent of foetal head. The present study aimed to find out effect of upright kneeling position in the second stage of labour on maternal and foetal outcome and assess patients’ satisfaction.Methods: The study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital of North India from October 2012 to February 2014. Low risk women admitted in early labour were divided into two groups, women delivering in kneeling position and in supine position. The outcome measures studied were, duration of second stage of labour, mode of delivery, 2nd degree perineal tears, Apgar scores at 5 minutes, NICU admission rate and patient satisfaction.Results: The mean duration of second stage of labour in kneeling group was shorter by 14.901 minutes. The rate of vaginal delivery was comparable for both primigravidas and multigravida in kneeling and supine groups, RR: 2.275, 95% CI (0.7872-6.5831) and RR: 1.633, 95% CI (0.393-6.775). Primigravidas had more 2nd degree perineal tears in kneeling group as compared to supine, RR 4.191, 95% CI (1.54 to 11.41). No difference in Apgar scores >7 at 5 minutes was observed in both groups, however, significantly lesser babies in kneeling group were admitted in NICU, RR 0.246, 95% CI (0.079 to 0.761). There was no difference on comparing satisfaction scores of primigravidas and multigravida in both supine and kneeling position.Conclusions: Kneeling position reduces the duration of second stage of labour and NICU admissions.

Background: Experiencing labour pains and giving birth to infant is normal physiological process. Though it is a natural phenomenon, it produces severe pain which requires analgesia to relieve pain during labour. The objective of this study was to compare effects of low dose epidural analgesia verses no analgesia during labour on mother and fetus.Methods: Here in this study we have assessed effect of epidural analgesia on mother and fetus. Total we have taken 60 women in age group of 20-26 years with full term pregnancy (37-42 weeks). Those who have entered spontaneous labour with vertex presentation, without any previous uterine surgery, clinically adequate pelvis. We had divided these women in 2 groups, 30 were given epidural analgesia and 30 without any analgesia. Variables recorded were pain score during labour using VAS, duration of labour during each stage, mode of delivery, Apgar score of newborn at 1 minute and 5 minutes.Results: Present study shows that duration of first stage of labour in epidural and non-analgesia group are same. Second stage of labour is prolonged in epidural group than non-analgesia group. Both groups had normal APGAR score. Epidural analgesia is not associated with any change in mode of delivery. Visual analogue scale is good with epidural analgesia.Conclusions: There was no significant difference in first stage of labour in both group. Second stage of labour was slightly prolonged in EA group than control, but it was less than two hours. No harmful neonatal outcome in epidural analgesia.

BACKGROUND:Pain relief during labour is an important component of modern obstetric care and can be produced by neuraxial, systemic or inhalational analgesia. Recent meta-analyses have supported epidural analgesia as the most efficacious technique.A good labour analgesia should aim at good pain relief during delivery process,at the same time not causing foetal acidosis,ensures safe for both mother and the baby. AIM OF THE STUDY:To study the influence of epidural analgesia on maternal and neonatal outcome MATERIALS AND METHODS:The study was conducted in the depar tment of Obstet r ics and Gynecology,GOVT.Stanley Medical College,Govt.RSRM LYING IN HOSPITAL,CHENNAI over a period of eight months from July 2019 to February 2021. The study was performed in 120 selected subjects. The study subjects were divided based on intervention – labour analgesia into 2 study groups. In this study,change in vital parameters,fetal heart rate,assessment of pain score,Duration of first and second stage of labour,mode of delivery,APGAR score and the need for NICU admission were noted and recorded.Any complications during the course of labour were also recorded. RESULTS:In this study,there was no significant difference in the mean duration of first and second stage of labour in both the study and control groups.The mean Apgar score of babies at one minute was 7.02 and at 5 minutes was 8.07 in the labour analgesia group and showed no significance.Maternal satisfaction for the effect of epidural analgesia,60.00% of the patients of epidural analgesia, the incidence of satisfactory/very satisfactory experience was meaningfully and significantly more in labour analgesia group subjects compared to control group subjects by 30 % with a 2 fold increase. CONCLUSION: As per this study labour analgesia using neuroaxial blockade technique are more likely to encounter increasing maternal satisfaction and good quality labour pain reduction.
