Hello everyone! A small thread for the study “Intrapartum pudendal nerve block analgesia (PNB) and risk of postpartum urinary retention: a cohort study” - rdcu.be/cja2o - PNB is used as #pain relief in the final stage of childbirth. 1/4
The authors hypothesized PNB is associated with higher rates of #postpartum #urinaryretention. A #cohort study in Norway with women receiving PNB (n=499) was done. The unexposed group was women without PNB (n=508) giving birth 2/4
They have found that, in adjust analyses, women receiving PNB did not differ in likelihood of postpartum urinary retention compared to women with without PNB in either spontaneous or instrumental births. 3/4
No # between groups were observed with excessive residual urine volume or catheterization after > 3h – PNB is therefore unlikely to hamper future bladder function 4/4
