Summary: The study found that neuraxial labor analgesia has a protective effect in reducing the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) in regions with high PPD prevalence, but may increase the risk in regions with low PPD prevalence. Neuraxial labor analgesia did not have a significant impact on postpartum Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale scores.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal childbirth intention, labor epidural analgesia (LEA), and postpartum depression (PPD), as well as risk factors related to PPD. The results showed no significant association between childbirth intention, LEA, and PPD, while chronic pain affecting daily life, prenatal EPDS, SAS, SSRS score, family accompaniment during labor, and 1-day NRS score were significantly associated with PPD.

Summary: The study found that the use of fentanyl during labor can result in breastfeeding difficulties, especially with EDA fentanyl and IV+EDA fentanyl. When IV fentanyl doses exceeded 200 μg, there was a reduction in exclusive breastfeeding and spontaneous suckling rates, along with an increase in breastfeeding problems.

Summary: This study investigated the association between labor pain intensity and acute postpartum pain. The results showed that labor pain intensity, increased blood loss, shoulder dystocia, and use of pethidine for labor analgesia were independently associated with high acute postpartum pain.

Summary: Using a nested case-control study, we found that polygenic risk scores differ between postpartum depression (PPD) cases and depression with onset outside the postpartum period (MDD) cases, suggesting a potential genetic distinction. However, after accounting for selection-related reproductive behavior, there was no clear evidence of a distinct genetic makeup in women with depression occurring during or outside the postpartum period.

Summary: The study found that labor analgesia could reduce the incidence of postpartum depression, while high family income and early postpartum EPDS scores were associated with an increased risk of postpartum depression. Large sample size studies are needed to verify the impact of labor analgesia on the psychological states of postpartum women.

Summary: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a severe psychiatric disorder that significantly impacts postnatal mothers worldwide. This study demonstrated a significant association between postpartum pain sensitivity and PPD, with PSQ-C scores being a reliable predictor. Additionally, gestational diabetes, low breastfeeding rates, and low birth weight were identified as risk factors for PPD.

Summary: Pregnancy and childbirth can trigger anxiety, depression, and mental disorders. The relationship between labor pain, labor epidural analgesia, and postpartum depression is conflicting, and unmet analgesic needs expectations, unmet birth expectations, and/or the quality of social support during labor may contribute to postpartum depression.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the relationship between Obstetric Quality of Recovery survey and Edinburgh postnatal depression scale measured 6 weeks after delivery. The results showed that lower quality of recovery during hospitalization, pre-existing depression or anxiety, and hospital readmission were associated with positive screening for postpartum depression at 6 weeks.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the use of Methoxyflurane can effectively reduce pain in trauma patients, with a high level of satisfaction among paramedics. Nearly 60% of patients achieved successful analgesia, and over 70% of paramedics reported feeling satisfied with the medication's effects.

Summary: The annual Gerard W. Ostheimer lecture provides a summary of new literature relevant to the clinical practice of obstetric anesthesiologists for the members of the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology. This review highlights influential articles discussed in the 2021 virtual lecture, covering a wide range of topics including maternal mortality, disparities and social determinants of health, cognitive function, mental health, and recovery, quality and safety, operations, value, and economics, clinical controversies and dogmas, epidemics and pandemics, fetal-neonatal and child health, general clinical care, basic and translational science, and the future of peripartum anesthetic care. It presents and evaluates practice-changing evidence and provides a priority list for clinical updates, systems, and quality improvement initiatives.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the prevalence of comorbid depression or anxiety disorders in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The presence of negative affect (NA) in CLBP patients is associated with increased pain, worse treatment outcomes, and higher rates of prescription opioid misuse. The SYNNAPTIC protocol is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of antidepressants, fear-avoidance rehabilitation, or their combination in treating CLBP patients with high NA.

Summary: Obstetric anesthesia, through close communication of a multidisciplinary team, brings significant benefits to patient safety and effective care. It is crucial to approach labor and delivery holistically, considering not only the physical but also the psychosocial aspects of care. Pain control plays a critical role in shaping the overall experience of the patient. Engaging the entire care team and adopting a patient-centered approach greatly enhances the likelihood of achieving a safe and effective outcome.
