    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Pain Management
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Midtrimester abortions and preterm deliveries present significant pain and psychological challenges.
    • Effective pain management is crucial for patient well-being during these procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of epidural analgesia in women undergoing midtrimester abortion or preterm delivery.
    • To assess the impact of epidural analgesia on psychological response and procedure duration.

    Main Methods:

    • Epidural analgesia was administered to 78 women undergoing abortion or preterm delivery (up to 27 weeks).
    • Patients were divided into three groups: inevitable abortion, induced abortion, and preterm delivery.
    • Demographic and clinical data were statistically analyzed and compared with control groups.

    Main Results:

    • Epidural analgesia was effective in all three experimental groups, with no observed complications or side effects.
    • Significant reduction in psychological distress associated with the procedures was noted.
    • Shorter abortion or labor duration and the ability to perform surgical procedures without additional anesthesia were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Epidural analgesia is a safe and effective method for pain relief in midtrimester abortion and preterm delivery.
    • The benefits include reduced psychological impact, shorter procedure times, and facilitation of surgical interventions.
    • These advantages support the routine use of epidural analgesia in obstetric care settings.
