During their hospital stay, all patients followed a well-defined care plan with multimodal fast-track rehabilitation (20,21); this plan included early surgery within 24 hours of admission, epidural anesthesia and epidural analgesia initiated immediately after admittance and continued for 96 hours after surgery, a standardized transfusion protocol if the hemoglobin level was less than 6. There are no long-term studies of the effects of epidural analgesia on exposed human offspring. Forty-seven percent of women who labored in water and 66% of those receiving standard augmentation required epidural analgesia at some point; the difference, assessed through chi-square testing, was not statistically significant. |
