Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To retrospectively evaluate pain scores before and after treatment, pain at delivery, cold sensory levels, motor block, and delivery and neonatal outcomes in women with breakthrough pain during advanced labor who received epidural rescue administration of alkalinized 0.3 % lidocaine with epinephrine during neuraxial labor analgesia.

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Within patient change in the 0 to 100 mm VAS pain score from immediately before administration of Alkalinized 0.3% Lidocaine with Epinephrine to 5 to 15 minutes after administration.

Key secondary outcomes

VAS at delivery; post-treatment VAS=0; post-treatment VAS less 10 mm; 30% reduction and 50% reduction VAS reductions; changes in upper and lower cold sensory boundaries; worsening of modified Bromage score; new motor block; post-treatment Bromage score more 2; mode of delivery; operative vaginal delivery rate; fundal pressure; 1- and 5-minute Apgar scores; postpartum neurological symptoms; post administration hypotension; symptoms of local anesthetic toxicity; the presence or absence of precipitates in the solution.

Key inclusion criteria

1) Women who received neuraxial labor analgesia at Kitasato University Hospital between 19 August 2022 and 18 March 2026. 2) Women who developed breakthrough pain after previously satisfactory epidural analgesia through an indwelling epidural catheter. 3) Cervical dilation more 7 cm, with the attending obstetrician or midwife judging that labor had entered a rapidly progressing phase and that delivery was likely within approximately 1 hour. 4) Women who received epidural rescue administration of alkalinized 0.3% lidocaine with epinephrine for breakthrough pain. 5) Cases with retrievable medical record data including pre-treatment and 5 to 15 min post treatment VAS, cold sensory levels, and modified Bromage scores.

Key exclusion criteria

1) Recurrent breakthrough pain requiring clinician administered epidural boluses at least once per 90 minutes before the index treatment, suggesting probable epidural catheter dysfunction. 2) Pre existing neurological disorders. 3) Cognitive or developmental impairment precluding reliable analgesic assessment. 4) Previous spinal surgery. 5) Patients who declined participation through the opt out procedure.

Other related information

This is a single center retrospective observational study using existing medical records. The exposure is epidural rescue administration of alkalinized 0.3% lidocaine with epinephrine for breakthrough pain in advanced labor. The primary outcome is the change in VAS from pre-treatment to 5 to 15 minutes post-treatment. Related outcomes include VAS at delivery, cold sensory levels, modified Bromage score, mode of delivery, Apgar scores and etc. Consecutive eligible cases during the study period are included; no random sampling or case-control sampling is used.
