Feilende epidural analgesi under fødsel (FEA25)
15. september 2026 oppdatert av: Nicolas Brogly
Analyse av forekomsten og risikofaktorene for svikt i epidural analgesi under fødsel: En prospektiv multicenter observasjonsstudie
This prospective multicenter observational study is being conducted at the Gregorio Marañón University General Hospital and the La Paz University Hospital in Madrid, Spain. The recruitment period began on January 12, 2026, and will continue until February 12, 2027. Patients over 18 years of age requesting epidural analgesia for labor are included. Exclusion criteria are: age under 18; stillbirth; continuous spinal anesthesia; refusal to participate in the study. The primary objective of the study is to calculate the incidence of epidural analgesia failure during labor. Secondary objectives are: identification of potential risk factors for epidural analgesia failure; failure of epidural anesthesia for emergency cesarean birth; maternal postpartum recovery at 24 and 48 hours using the Spanish-validated version of ObsQoR-10 questionnaire.

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Failed onset of epidural block
Tidsramme: An incomplete or inefficient block 30 minutes after initiation of epidural analgesia will be considered as a failed onset.
|
Absence or insufficient epidural block in level and/or density in the first 30 minutes after the administration of the induction bolus. |
An incomplete or inefficient block 30 minutes after initiation of epidural analgesia will be considered as a failed onset.

Failed conversion of epidural analgesia to anesthesia for intrapartum cesarean birth
Tidsramme: In subpopulation of patients with an intrapartum cesarean delivery, failed conversion will be considered for any requirement for intravenous supplementation or general anaesthesia during caesarean delivery.
|
Requirement for a new regional block, intravenous supplementation or general anesthesia for an intrapartum cesarean birth in a patient with labor epidural analgesia. |
In subpopulation of patients with an intrapartum cesarean delivery, failed conversion will be considered for any requirement for intravenous supplementation or general anaesthesia during caesarean delivery.

Maternal recovery until 48h postpartum
Tidsramme: On postpartum day 1 (24h after delivery) and day 2 (48h after delivery), during post-partum anaesthesia visit, the participants will answer the 10-Items Obstetric Quality of Recovery scoring tool (ObsQoR-10).
