Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

404
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
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...

In Vitro Fertilization

178
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

Summary

Induction of labor in twin pregnancies significantly increases the rate of cesarean delivery (CD). Careful counseling is essential for expectant parents regarding the risks associated with twin births and labor induction.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Perinatal Outcomes

Background:

  • Twin pregnancies present unique risks for both mother and neonate.
  • Delivery mode decisions in twin gestations require careful consideration of potential complications.
  • Induction of labor in twin pregnancies may influence delivery outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze delivery modes in twin pregnancies.
  • To evaluate the impact of labor induction on cesarean delivery (CD) rates and perinatal outcomes.
  • To identify risk factors for CD and prolonged intertwin intervals (≥15 minutes).

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 267 twin pregnancies at a single center.
  • Inclusion criteria for vaginal twin delivery: gestational age >34 weeks, leading twin cephalic, estimated weight difference ≤500g, no prior uterine surgery.
  • Women categorized into vaginal delivery, CD for both twins, or emergency CD for the second twin groups.

Main Results:

  • Induction of labor was associated with a significantly higher CD rate (47% vs. 23%, p<0.001).
  • Induction of labor and nulliparity were identified as risk factors for CD of both twins.
  • Maternal age and second twin's weight were risk factors for intertwin intervals ≥15 minutes, which correlated with lower umbilical artery pH in the second twin.

Conclusions:

  • Cesarean delivery rates nearly doubled when labor induction was necessary in twin pregnancies.
  • Findings underscore the importance of comprehensive patient counseling regarding the risks inherent in twin deliveries and the potential impact of induction.
