Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: This study included 300 full-term parturients in Changzhou MCH hospital who were selected for epidural labor analgesia from January to December in 2024,with the conditions: height 155-165cm, BMI 18-30, obstetrical bone and birth canal examination can be attempted delivery, recent obstetrical ultrasound suggested that fetal size is normal, good placental maturity , maternal intention of self-delivery.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) excluding those who can not cooperate with the analgesia operator, those whose fetus has been diagnosed as having developmental deformity or congenital disease during pregnancy, and those whose parturients have factors that may affect the evaluation of pain, such as mental retardation, early use of intravenous or oral analgesic drugs, mental diseases, etc. (2) excluding those who need a second puncture for the failure of epidural analgesia, those who have the symptoms of spinal anesthesia, local anesthesia poisoning or drug allergy. (3) excluding those who have abnormal development of uterus or birth canal. (4) to rule out amniotic fluid embolism, placental abruption and prolapse of umbilical cord. (5) to rule out non-occipital, occipital transverse and occipital posterior positions. (6) according to the judgment of the doctors in charge of the trial, conducting a trial may place the subject at increased risk or may not have access to sufficient trial data.
