Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialRandomized trial of epidural versus intravenous analgesia during labor.
To compare the effects of epidural analgesia with intravenous (IV) analgesia on the outcome of labor. ⋯ Although labor epidural analgesia is superior to meperidine for pain relief, labor is prolonged, uterine infection is increased, and the number of operative deliveries are increased. A two- to fourfold increased risk of cesarean delivery is associated with epidural treatment in both nulliparous and parous women.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialRandomized comparison of general and regional anesthesia for cesarean delivery in pregnancies complicated by severe preeclampsia.
To evaluate the maternal and fetal effects of three anesthetic methods used randomly in women with severe preeclampsia who required cesarean delivery. ⋯ General as well as regional anesthetic methods are equally acceptable for cesarean delivery in pregnancies complicated by severe preeclampsia if steps are taken to ensure a careful approach to either method.
