Abstract:
The influence of electroanalgesia on the uterus activity, delivery duration, pH, P02, PCO2, Hb02, BE, sodium and potassium values in venous and arterial umbilical blood as well as in venous mother's blood has been evaluated. The investigated total was composed of 31 pregnancies, in 18 of them the delivery was backed with electroanalgesia, and the remainder of 13 represented a control group. No statistical significance has been evaluated as to the duration of delivery in both groups. The positive finding resides in significantly higher Hb02 and lower Be umbilical blood values in a group with applied electroanalgesia. No significant differences were found out in the rest of either the indices of respiratory foetal metabolism or sodium and potassium values in contrast of control group.

Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
