Randomized Controlled TrialDexmedetomidine versus sufentanil with high- or low-concentration ropivacaine for labor epidural analgesia: A randomized trial.
To study analgesic effects of dexmedetomidine or sufentanil, both combined with ropivacaine, in epidural analgesia during labor. ⋯ A relatively low concentration of ropivacaine, combined with dexmedetomidine, is better in analgesia during labor.

Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of meperidine, tramadol and fentanyl for post-spinal shivering prevention during cesarean delivery: A double-blind randomized controlled trial.
To assess the effects of intravenously administered meperidine, fentanyl and tramadol in reducing the incidence, onset time and severity of the shivering response in parturients during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Secondary outcomes included patient satisfaction and sedation scores. ⋯ Intravenously administered meperidine, fentanyl and tramadol reduce shivering incidence, onset time and severity in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery following spinal anesthesia. Importantly, low-dose intravenous tramadol (0.5 mg/kg) allowed shivering prevention and low sedation scores, thereby offering greater parturient satisfaction and better maternal-newborn bonding.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyComparative efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose and iron sucrose for the treatment of preoperative anemia in patients with menorrhagia: An open-label, multicenter, randomized study.
To compare ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) with iron sucrose (IS) for the effective and timely treatment of preoperative iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in women with menorrhagia. ⋯ Ferric carboxymaltose is as effective as IS in correcting preoperative IDA among patients with menorrhagia. The added benefits of FCM over IS included significant rapid correction of IDA, replenishment of iron stores and reduced hospital visits.

Randomized Controlled TrialCombined spinal-epidural anesthesia with hypobaric ropivacaine in sitting position significantly increases the incidence of hypotension in parturients undergoing cesarean section.
Maternal position during induction of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) may affect hemodynamics and block characteristics. This study aimed to assess whether the sitting position is more likely to induce hypotension and higher block level than the lateral position in CSEA with hypobaric ropivacaine. ⋯ As compared to the lateral positions, CSEA with hypobaric ropivacaine in the sitting position is more likely to cause hypotension and excessively high block level.

Randomized Controlled Trial17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate versus vaginal progesterone suppository for the prevention of preterm birth in women with a sonographically short cervix: A randomized controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to compare 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17OHP-C) with vaginal progesterone suppository for the prevention of preterm birth in women with a sonographically short cervix and to evaluate the changes of the cervical length (CL) over time. ⋯ Our findings showed that vaginal progesterone and 17OHP-C had the same effect on the risk of preterm labor in asymptomatic women with a sonographically short cervix. We detected no significant difference between the effect of 17OHP-C and vaginal progesterone on CL changes over time.
