    Changes in venous-blood lactate level were studied in women in three periods of labour and three time periods after labour, as well as in their newborns in the umbilical core blood and during the first several days of extrauterine life. The level was highest in women at the time of fetus delivery (passage of fetal head through the genital channel) and in the umbilical cord blood in newborns. The return of normal lactate value occurred parallelly in mothers and newborns. In several cases of labour with complications not induced pharmacologically the lactate levels were not different from those observed during spontaneous labours.

    Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

    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...
