Effect of single intravenous injection of esketamine on postpartum depression after labor analgesia and potential mechanisms: a randomized, double-blinded controlled trial. BMC Pharmacol Toxicol 2023; 24:66. [PMID: 37996953 PMCID: PMC10668401 DOI: 10.1186/s40360-023-00705-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study was designed to investigate effects of single intravenous injection of esketamine on the incidence of postpartum depression (PPD) after labor analgesia and explore the potential mechanisms. METHODS A total of 120 women who underwent labor analgesia by epidural analgesia pump were enrolled and divided into two groups randomly. Esketamine at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg was intravenously injected after fetal disengagement in the test group and placebo was administered in the control group. The occurrence of PPD and side effects after delivery were recorded. Some indicators related to stress and inflammation were measured before labor analgesia and at 24 h, 1 week, and 6 weeks after delivery in this study. Data were analyzed by independent t-test, repeated measures analysis of variance and Chi-square test in SPSS software (version 25.0). It was considered statistically significant since a p value less than 0.05. RESULTS The incidence of PPD was significantly decreased both for one week and six weeks after delivery by using of esketamine (3.4% vs. 15.3%, p = 0.004 and 5.2% vs. 18.6%, p = 0.006, respectively). There were also significant differences between the stress and inflammation-related indicators in different time points in this study, while the side effects for 48 h after delivery were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Single intravenous injection of esketamine after delivery in participants underwent labor analgesia can decrease the occurrence of postpartum depression for one week and six weeks after delivery, while the side effects were not increased. The antidepressant effects of esketamine may be related to the reduction of stress response and inflammation. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on 5/30/2022 (CTRI registration number-ChiCTR2200060387). URL of registry: https://www.chictr.org.cn/bin/home .

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of labor neuraxial analgesia (NA) in China has increased significantly in the past decade, and the current rate of use is unknown. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of NA based on a large multicenter cross-sectional survey, the China Labor and Delivery Survey (CLDS) (2015-2016), and to evaluate the association between NA and intrapartum caesarean delivery (CD) and maternal and neonatal outcomes. METHODS The CLDS was a facility-based cross-sectional investigation with a cluster random sampling scheme conducted from 2015 to 2016. A specific weight was assigned to each individual based on the sampling frame. Logistic regression was adopted to analyze the factors associated with the use of NA. A propensity score matching scheme was used to analyze the associations between NA and intrapartum CD and perinatal outcomes. RESULTS A total of 51,488 vaginal deliveries or intrapartum CD were included in our study, excluding prelabor CDs. The weighted NA rate was 17.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 16.6-18.0) in this survey population. Nulliparous, previous CD, hypertensive disorders, and labor augmentation were associated with higher use of NA. In the propensity score-matched analysis, NA was associated with reduced risks of intrapartum CD, especially intrapartum CD by maternal request (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.68; 95% CI, 0.60-0.78 and aOR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.30-0.76, respectively), 3rd or 4th degree perineal laceration (aOR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.15-0.89), and 5-minute Apgar score ≤3 (aOR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03-0.66). CONCLUSIONS The use of NA may be associated with improved obstetric outcomes, including fewer intrapartum CD, less birth canal trauma, and better neonatal outcomes in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of labor analgesia for primiparae with different stages of cervical dilation on parturition and neonates. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the past three years, 530 cases of primiparae who had delivered in the Second People's Hospital of Hefei and were eligible for a vaginal trial of parturition were enrolled as the research subjects. Of these, 360 puerperae had labor analgesia, and the remaining 170 were taken as the control group. Those given labor analgesia were divided into three groups based on the different stages of cervical dilation at that time. There were 160 cases in Group I (cervical dilation <3 cm), 100 cases in Group II (cervical dilation of 3-4 cm), and 100 cases in Group III (cervical dilation of 4-6 cm). The labor and neonatal outcomes were compared among the four groups. RESULTS The first, second, and total stages of labor in the three groups receiving labor analgesia were all longer than in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05 in all). Group I had the longest duration of each stage and the total stage of labor. The differences in labor stages and the total stage of labor were not statistically significant between Group II and Group III (P > 0.05). In the three groups with labor analgesia, the usage rate of oxytocin was higher than in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The differences in the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, the incidence of postpartum urine retention, and the episiotomy rate were not statistically significant among the four groups (P > 0.05). The differences in the neonatal Apgar score were not statistically significant among the four groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Labor analgesia might prolong the stages of labor but does not affect the neonatal outcomes. It would be optimal to conduct labor analgesia when cervical dilation reaches 3-4 cm.

Behavioural factors associated with fear of litigation as a driver for the increased use of caesarean sections: a scoping review. BMJ Open 2023; 13:e070454.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the behavioural drivers of fear of litigation among healthcare providers influencing caesarean section (CS) rates. DESIGN Scoping review. DATA SOURCES We searched MEDLINE, Scopus and WHO Global Index (1 January 2001 to 9 March 2022). DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data were extracted using a form specifically designed for this review and we conducted content analysis using textual coding for relevant themes. We used the WHO principles for the adoption of a behavioural science perspective in public health developed by the WHO Technical Advisory Group for Behavioural Sciences and Insights to organise and analyse the findings. We used a narrative approach to summarise the findings. RESULTS We screened 2968 citations and 56 were included. Reviewed articles did not use a standard measure of influence of fear of litigation on provider's behaviour. None of the studies used a clear theoretical framework to discuss the behavioural drivers of fear of litigation. We identified 12 drivers under the three domains of the WHO principles: (1) cognitive drivers: availability bias, ambiguity aversion, relative risk bias, commission bias and loss aversion bias; (2) social and cultural drivers: patient pressure, social norms and blame culture and (3) environmental drivers: legal, insurance, medical and professional, and media. Cognitive biases were the most discussed drivers of fear of litigation, followed by legal environment and patient pressure. CONCLUSIONS Despite the lack of consensus on a definition or measurement, we found that fear of litigation as a driver for rising CS rates results from a complex interaction between cognitive, social and environmental drivers. Many of our findings were transferable across geographical and practice settings. Behavioural interventions that consider these drivers are crucial to address the fear of litigation as part of strategies to reduce CS.

[PMID: 35933333 PMCID: PMC9356406 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-022-01783-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Humane treatment requires the provision of appropriate sedation and analgesia during medical diagnosis and treatment. However, limited information is available about the status of procedural analgesic interventions in Chinese hospitals. Therefore, a nationwide survey was established to identify challenges and propose potential improvement strategies. Methods Forty-three members of the Pain Group of Chinese Society of Anesthesiology established and reviewed the questionnaire, which included (1) general information on the hospitals, (2) the sedation/analgesia rate in gastrointestinal endoscopy, labor, flexible bronchoscopy, hysteroscopy in China, (3) staff assignments, (4) drug use for procedural analgesic interventions, and (5) difficulties in procedural analgesic interventions. The data were obtained using an online questionnaire sent to the chief anesthesiologists of Chinese hospitals above Grade II or members of the Pain Group of Chinese Society of Anesthesiology. Results Valid and complete questionnaires were received from 2198 (44.0%) hospitals, of which 64.5% were Grade III. The overall sedation/analgesia rates were as follows: gastroscopy (50.6%), colonoscopy (53.7%), ERCP (65.9%), induced abortion (67.5%), labor (42.3%), hysteroscopy (67.0%) and fiber bronchoscopy (52.6%). Compared with Grade II hospitals, Grade III hospitals had a higher proportion of procedural analgesic interventions services except for induced abortion. On average (median [IQR]), each anesthesiologist performed 5.7 [2.3—11.4] cases per day, with 7.3 [3.2—13.6] performed in Grade III hospitals and 3.4 [1.8—6.8] performed in Grade II hospitals (z = -7.065, p < 0.001). Conclusions Chinese anesthesiologists have made great efforts to achieve procedural analgesic interventions, as evidenced by the increased rate. The uneven health care provided by hospitals at different levels and in different regions and the lack of anesthesiologists are the main barriers to optimal procedural analgesic interventions.
