Comparative Study Clinical TrialPatient satisfaction between remifentanil patient-controlled analgesia and epidural analgesia for labor pain.
The aim of this study was to compare patient satisfaction between remifentanil patient-controlled analgesia (RPCA) and epidural analgesia (EA) for labor pain. ⋯ Both self-selected groups did not differ in general satisfaction with labor and delivery at all three time points after birth despite a significantly higher experienced pain in the RPCA group.

Neonatal outcome of singleton term breech deliveries in Norway from 1991 to 2011.
The objective of this study was to examine the association between planned mode of delivery and neonatal outcomes in breech deliveries. ⋯ Overall intrapartum and neonatal mortality decreased during the entire period. Higher mortality in planned vaginal delivery relative to planned cesarean delivery in the second period was not statistically significant. However, neonatal morbidity was significantly higher in planned vaginal than planned cesarean deliveries in both periods. This warrants continuous surveillance of breech deliveries.
