title: [Anesthesia in preterm labor].
abstract: The authors analyze early neonatal morbidity in 87 preterm babies and the values of perinatal mortality of newborns born to mothers whose labor was anesthesized by different methods. The task of this study was to assess the effect of long epidural anesthesia (LEA) used for preterm labor pain relief on the survival of small-for-date babies. Standard anesthesia of labor is compared to LEA. LEA ensured adequate analgesia and stable hemodynamics; moreover, it protected the intrauterine fetus from hypoxic injuries to the central nervous system due to normalization of uterine contractility and uteroplacental bloodflow and relaxation of the muscles of the fundus of the uterus.
