Evaluating the risks of neuraxial anesthesia in women with primary immunodeficiencies during childbirth

Infectious Complications Associated With the Use of Peri-partum Neuraxial Anaesthesia in Patients With Primary Immunodeficiencies

Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT06449066

This study is trying to see if using epidurals during childbirth is safe for women with primary immunodeficiencies by looking at any infections that might happen.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the association between neuraxial anesthesia (epidural or intradural) used during childbirth and the occurrence of infectious complications, such as epidural abscess or meningitis, in women with primary immunodeficiencies (PID). The study will review medical records of PID patients who have given birth in APHP hospitals over the past decade. By focusing on this specific population, the research seeks to fill a gap in understanding the safety of neuraxial anesthesia in patients who are at a higher risk for infections. The findings could provide valuable insights into the management of labor pain in these patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are female patients over 18 years old with primary immunodeficiencies who have given birth in the last 10 years.

Not a fit: Patients who are minors, deceased, or those whose obstetric files are unavailable will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the safety of neuraxial anesthesia for women with primary immunodeficiencies during childbirth.

How similar studies have performed: This study addresses a novel area of inquiry, as the risks associated with neuraxial anesthesia in patients with primary immunodeficiencies have not been previously studied.
