Abstract

Objective: Labor pain is one of most severe pain that women may suffer during a lifetime. Actually, epidural analgesia (EA) is the most effective method for labor pain. But it is not available every time and alternative approaches needed. We observed intravenous paracetamol (IVP) for this purpose.Methods: Our study was planned as a prospective, randomized controlled trial in two centers, during September 2007 - August 2008. After randomization, 32 patients were included in IVP group, 24 patients in EA group and 37 patients in placebo groups that total number was 93.Findings: Highest 1st minute APGAR scores were detected in placebo group, compared to IVP and EA groups. But, for 5th minute APGAR scores, no difference was detected among three groups. Lowest VAS scores obtained in EA group whereas highest scored were in Placebo group. Mean VAS scores were 8-9.5 for placebo, 7.7-8.5 for IVP and 4-6 for EA groups. As labor progresses, VAS scores were increasing in IVP and placebo groups whereas for EA group scores decreased. When 0 and 30 minutes VAS scored considered, both EA and IVP groups showed lower 30 minutes scores, where the difference was more prominent for EA group. This effect was still detected in EA group but not in other two groups in 60 minutes scores. For all groups, pain was described as diffuse pain in early stages of labor, but better localized as labor progresses. Conclusion: For labor pain, IVP can be considered as a safe and easily applicable option when EA is not available. Well standardized studies including more participants, observing IVP alone or in a combination treatment for labor pain with more frequent and higher dosages, are needed.

Özet

Amaç: Doğum ağrısı kadının yaşamı boyunca karşılaşacağı en şiddetli ağrılardan biridir. Doğum eylemi analjezisinde günümüzde en etkili yöntem epidural analjezidir (EA). Fakat her zaman ulaşılabilir değildir. Bundan dolayı farklı alternatifler düşünülmüştür. Biz de intravenöz parasetamolu (IVP) bu amaçla kullanmayı araştırdık. Yöntem: Eylül 2007-Ağustos 2008 tarihleri arasında prospektif, plasebo kontrollü olarak iki merkezli olarak planlandı. Randomizasyon sonrası IVP grubunda 32, epidural analjezi grubunda 24 ve plasebo grubunda 37 gebe olmak üzere 93 kişi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bulgular: Plasebo grubunda, hem IVP hem de EA grubuna göre daha yüksek 1. dk APGAR skorları elde edilmiştir. Fakat 5. dk APGAR skorları bakımından üç grup arasında fark saptanamamıştır. VAS ortalamaları bakımından üç grup karşılaştırıldığında en düşük ortalama EA grubunda en yüksek ortalama plasebo grubunda saptandı. VAS ortalamaları IVP grubunda 7,7–8,5 aralığında, EA grubunda 4–6 aralığında ve plasebo grubunda ise 8–9,5 aralığında olduğu saptandı. IVP ve Plasebo gruplarında doğum eylemi ilerlediğinde VAS skorları artarken EA grubunda azaldı. Epidural analjezi grubunda daha belirgin olmak üzere parasetamol grubunda da, 0 ile 30. dakikalardaki VAS skorları farkı negatif değerler olarak saptanmış ve 30. dk skorlarının daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Epidural analjezi grubunda 0 ile 60. dk skorları farkı da negatif değer olarak saptanmışken diğer iki grupta bu fark saptanmamıştır. Genel olarak tüm gruplar için eylemin erken evrelerinde ağrı daha yaygın alanda tarif edilmişken, eylem ilerledikçe ağrının daha iyi lokalize edildiği görülmektedir. Sonuç: EA’nin uygulanamadığı durumlarda IVP güvenli ve kolay uygulanabilir bir seçenek olarak göz önünde bulundurulabilir. IVP’ün tek başına ya da kombinasyon tedavilerinde daha sık ya da farklı dozlar kullanılarak etkinliğinin değerlendirileceği, iyi standardize edilmiş geniş katılımlı klinik çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
