We used the following eligibility criteria for analysis of subjects: no serious illnesses or complications during pregnancy and delivery, singleton babies born at term (37-42 weeks' gestation), Apgar score of > 7 at 1 min, infants without congenital anomalies or diseases, and BSID-II completed. These studies show little difference between epidural and nonepidural (usually opiate-exposed) babies in terms of Apgar score and umbilical-cord pH, both of which reflect a baby's condition at birth. There is also the Apgar score, which measures a newborn's condition one minute and five minutes after birth. |
