“…According the Chestnut et al, the early administration of epidural analgesia does not increase the use of forceps 8 . According to Vallejo et al 16 , who obtained an incidence of 19% of cesarean sections, continuous epidural anesthesia is the most effective technique for labor analgesia because it does not increase the incidence of cesarean sections, as reported in the literature. In this study, continuous epidural anesthesia did not increase the number of cesarean sections, and its incidence was of only 5% versus 20% in the combined technique.…”

Considera-se que a paciente deambula quando ela caminha pelo menos cinco minutos em uma hora [13][14][15][16] . A deambulação, apesar de ser controversa em relação à diminuição do tempo do trabalho de parto, oferece à parturiente sensação de liberdade e de autocontrole, pois ela não fica restrita à mesa de parto sem poder se mover 6 .…”

“…While it is true that ambulation per se has not been shown to alter labour outcome, [3][4][5][6][7] maintaining mobility appeals to women although they may be at the point of requiring neuraxial analgesia. The fact that they may not take full advantage of this opportunity does not negate its other benefit of minimizing motor block.…”
