Official title
A Retrospective Case-controlled Study of the Association Between Request to Discontinue Second Stage Labor Epidural Analgesia and Risk of Instrumental Vaginal Delivery
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The objective of this study will be to compare epidural infusion management, specifically looking at infusion rate changes, in patients who receive forceps deliveries versus normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries. We will match patients based on time and date of delivery, as well as parity, in order to eliminate these variables as potential con-founders. We hypothesize patients who require a decrease in their basal labor analgesia epidural infusion rate will have an increased incidence of forceps delivery.
