EBB 317 - Evidence on Epidurals for Pain Management during Labor

Have you ever wondered what the evidence is on epidurals for pain management during labor? Join us on today's podcast as we discuss most recent evidence on epidurals, spinals, and combined spinal-epidurals! We'll begin with some background on these methods, including how common they are in the U.S. and around the world, before moving on to the effectiveness, benefits, and risks for use during labor. We'll also talk about alternative methods of pain relief during labor, and share recommendations from professional healthcare organizations. [Bonus addition to the podcast at 20:00: We talk about the study on epidurals out of Scotland [Kearns et al. 2024] that is generating lots of news headlines!] Join us to learn more about pain relief options during labor! Content Note: Topics related to epidural use, how they're provided (including needles and catheters), and the benefits and risks of this intervention. Discussion of assisted vaginal delivery (forceps and vacuum deliveries), severe maternal complications, surgery, perineal tears, and postpartum depression. References:
