Results

The incidence of intrapartum fetal head malrotation was not affected by neuraxial analgesia or the degree of lower extremity relaxation. For obstetric factors, known fetal head malrotation at the start of analgesia and early artificial rupture of membranes at an early stage of labor in primiparas may be associated with intrapartum malrotation.

Baseline Characteristics

Criteria for inclusion in the study were singleton low-risk Japanese term (> 36 weeks) parturients with fetal vertex position requesting labour analgesia.

Participant flow

The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Kitasato University Hospital (May 2010). Before neuraxial analgesia, patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatments by choosing from sealed envelopes. The three groups were: intermittent high-dose epidural injection (H-EPD group: initially 0.25% bupivacaine 9-12 mL and an additional 6 mL as per request), low-dose epidural infusion (L-EPD group: 0.2% ropivacaine 9-12 mL, followed by an infusion of 0.1% ropivacaine with fentanyl 2 mcg/mL at 8 mL/hr), or CSEA (CSEA group: an intrathecal dose of bupivacaine 2.0 mg with fentanyl 20 mcg, followed by 0.1% ropivacaine with fentanyl 2 mcg/mL at 8 mL/hr).

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

Fetal head rotation was examined using ultrasound before or immediately after analgesia and at delivery. Malrotation was defined as an occipital posterior (OP) or occipital transverse position at delivery. The modified Bromage scale (0 = no motor block; 1 = hip blocked; 2 = hip and knee blocked; 3 = hip, knee, and ankle blocked)3 was recorded at delivery, just before the parturient changed to the lithotomy position for pushing, to indicate the degree of motor blockade in the lower extremities.
