电针联合硬膜外麻醉在分娩镇痛中的应用OA

Objective:To explore the effect of electroacupuncture combined with epidural anesthesia in labor analgesia.Method:A total of 100 parturients who admitted to Honghu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the research objects,they were divided into the study group(n=50)and the control group(n=50)by random number table method.The control group was given epidural anesthesia for delivery analgesia,the study group was given electroacupuncture combined with epidural anesthesia for delivery analgesia,the labor process,pain degree,peripheral blood β-endorphin(β-EP)level,postpartum hemorrhage volume and newborns Apgar score were compared between two groups.Result:The stages of labor process in the study group were shorter than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);at the uterus orifice opens 2 cm,the uterus orifice opens 4 cm,the uterus orifice opens 6 cm,the uterus orifice opens completely,the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of two groups were lower than those at the beginning of labor,and those in the study group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);at 1 h and 2 h after the start of labor,the levels of β-EP in peripheral blood of two groups were increased,and those in the study group were higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in newborns 1 min Apgar score between two groups(P>0.05),the amount of postpartum hemorrhage in the study group was less than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of electroacupuncture combined with epidural anesthesia in labor analgesia can effectively shorten the labor process,reduce the degree of pain,increase the level of β-EP,reduce the amount of postpartum hemorrhage,and will not cause adverse effects on the newborn.
