Dr. Maryam Shafique, Dr. Arisha Javed Bajwa, Dr. Atika Jabeen

Aims of Objectives: The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of instrumental viaginal delivery. The frequency is determined in both women who are receiving epidural analgesia as well as those who are not receiving. Study Design: This study was collaborative Duration: The time period for this study was 6 months. Results: Patients were divided into two groups A and B. the age of these patients was between 20-25 years. Mean deviation calculated for group A was 46.11% (n=83) and for group B was 52.22% (n=94). Whereas, standard deviation was 26.21+_3.56 in group A and 27.34+_3.78 in group B. A comparison was made between group A and B for instrumental vaginal delivery. The cases delivered with instruments were 10.55% (n=19) in group A Whereas, 2.78% (n=5) cases in group B was observed. Conclusion: during labour, the most efficient procedure for the relief of discomfort is believed to be Epidural analgesia. However, the chances of instrumental delivery are elevated due to greater risk of longer duration of 2nd stage of labour. Keywords: Labour pain, epidural analgesia, relief of pain, risk of instrumental delivery.
