Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O alívio da dor no trabalho de parto tem recebido atenção constante visando ao bem-estar materno, diminuindo o estresse causado pela dor e reduzindo as conseqüências deste sobre o concepto. Inúmeras técnicas podem ser utilizadas para analgesia de parto. Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar a técnica peridural contínua com a combinada, ambas com o uso de bupivacaína a 0,25% em excesso enantiomérico 50% e fentanil como agentes. MÉTODO: Participaram do estudo 40 parturientes em trabalho de parto com dilatação cervical entre 4 e 5 cm que foram distribuídas em dois grupos iguais de forma aleatória. O Grupo I recebeu anestesia peridural contínua. O Grupo II recebeu anestesia combinada. Foram avaliados: medidas antropométricas, idade gestacional, dilatação cervical, tempo entre o bloqueio e a ausência de dor por meio da escala analógica visual, possibilidade de deambulação, tempo entre o início da analgesia e a dilatação cervical completa, duração do período expulsivo, parâmetros hemodinâmicos maternos e vitalidade do recém-nascido. Possíveis complicações, como depressão respiratória, hipotensão arterial materna, prurido, náuseas e vômitos, também foram observadas. Para a comparação das médias utilizou-se o teste t de Student e para a paridade e tipo de parto utilizou-se o teste do Qui-quadrado. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os dois grupos em relação ao tempo entre o início da analgesia e a dilatação cervical completa, bem como em relação ao tempo da duração do período expulsivo, incidência de cesariana relacionada com a analgesia, parâmetros hemodinâmicos maternos e vitalidade do recém-nascido. CONCLUSÕES: Ambas as técnicas se mostraram eficazes e seguras para a analgesia do trabalho de parto, embora a técnica combinada tenha proporcionado um rápido e imediato alívio da dor. Estudos clínicos com maior número de casos são necessários para avaliar diferença na incidência de cesarianas.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain relief during labor is a permanent concern, aiming at the maternal well being, decreasing the stress secondary to pain, and reducing its consequences on the fetus. Several analgesia techniques can be used during labor. The aim of this study was to compare continuous and combined epidural analgesia, both of them using 0.25% bupivacaine with 50% enantiomeric excess and fentanyl. METHODS: Forty pregnant women, in labor, with cervical dilation between 4 and 5 cm, were randomly divided in two groups. Group I received continuous epidural anesthesia. Group II received combined anesthesia. The following parameters were evaluated: anthropometric measurements, gestational age, cervical dilation, length of time between the blockade and absence of pain according to the visual analogic scale, ability to walk, length of time between analgesia and complete cervical dilation, duration of the expulsive phase, maternal hemodynamic parameters, and vitality of the newborn. Possible complications, such as respiratory depression, maternal hypotension, pruritus, nausea, and vomiting were also evaluated. The Student t test was used to compare the means and the Chi-square test was used to compare the number of pregnancies and type of labor. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between both groups regarding the length of time between the beginning of analgesia and complete cervical dilation, as well as regarding the duration of the expulsive phase, incidence of cesarean section related to the analgesia, maternal hemodynamic parameters, and vitality of the newborn. CONCLUSIONS: Both techniques are effective and safe for labor analgesia, although the combined technique provided fast and immediate pain relief. Clinical studies with a larger number of patients are necessary to evaluate the differences in the incidence of cesarean sections.
