10. The study conducted by Parada-Zúñiga et al. on early obstetric analgesia (neuraxial technique at ≤ 4 centimeters of cervical dilatation) in January 2022, reported the following findings, except 7:
In patients receiving early analgesia a longer than expected analgesia -delivery time was observed.
The analgesia-delivery time was longer than expected in multiparous women (57.3 % vs. 37.3 %; p = 0.005).
The incidence of post-puncture headache increased in a statistically significant manner when the puncture was done after 6 cm of cervical dilatation.
There was no statistically significant difference in terms of the presence of postoperative nausea and vomiting when comparing the early vs. late analgesia groups.
