“…We found that the Internet was the main source of information about non-pharmacological techniques for pregnant women. This result was in agreement with previous study which reported that Internet was the main source that women used to improve knowledge regarding these techniques and YouTube videos were described as a resource for this kind of search 18 . We found that almost all the parous and 50% of the nulliparous women reported the Internet as the main source of knowledge, and less than one-fifth of the participants reported that they received the information at the hospital during antenatal consultations or when they were admitted to the hospital in a previous delivery.…”

INTRODUCTIONThe objective of the study was to assess knowledge of pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy on non-pharmacological techniques for pain relief during labor and childbirth. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care facility of the University of Campinas, Brazil. The participants were 171 pregnant women, aged 18-35 years with 36 or more weeks of a singleton pregnancy. Participants responded to a questionnaire with data about sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics, knowledge on nonpharmacological techniques for pain relief during childbirth, the source of the information on these techniques, practice of physical activity and occurrence of pain during pregnancy. Parous women responded on the use of non-pharmacological techniques for pain relief during childbirth in previous deliveries. Multiple regression analysis with stepwise criteria of selection of variables was used to identify variables significantly associated with knowledge of non-pharmacological techniques for pain relief during childbirth. RESULTS A total of 165 (96.5%) participants reported knowledge on at least one nonpharmacological technique; 87.1% on the use of a warm shower during labor for pain relief, 80.7% on the use of the birthing ball, and 74.8% on breathing techniques. There were no significant differences between nulliparous and parous women. The main source of information reported was the Internet. Multivariate analysis showed that pregnant women who had pain during pregnancy reported more knowledge on the use of warm showers during labor (OR=2.64; 95% CI: 1.03-6.73). CONCLUSIONS Most women had knowledge of at least one non-pharmacological technique for pain relief during childbirth.

“…These search terms are specific to the studied target audience. For instance, if a study is performing a content analysis of a social media outlet regarding information available to the general public about epidurals for labor pain, 21 appropriate search terms may include epidural for labor or epidural for pregnancy. It would be inappropriate to use a term such as epidural labor analgesia that is not commonly used in lay language.…”

“…The video quality was evaluated using a modified DISCERN score, a five-question validated instrument that assesses quality of health information. Videos had over 16 million views, and 13/60 (22%) included non-factual information about epidural analgesia [ 28 ]. Importantly, videos from medical sources had a higher mDISCERN score compared with videos by non-medical sources (P < 0.001).…”

Purpose of Review This review will present recent updates for the use of non-neuraxial analgesia for laboring women. Recent Findings Non-neuraxial labor analgesia by nitrous oxide and intravenous opioids are described, and safety concerns with regard to remifentanil administration have been a major focus of recent studies. Fentanyl and nitrous oxide offer some efficacy, albeit less than remifentanil, however with a greater safety margin. Summary Women may request or require alternatives to neuraxial labor analgesia, in some cases due to concurrent comorbidities. Remifentanil offers the most efficacious alternative analgesia option; however, safety concerns may preclude widespread use.
