Protocol summary

Summary
In current non-randomized, non-blinded single center study, we aim to evaluate neonates’ APGAR scores in first, fifth and tenth minutes, seeking for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, need for neonatal intensive care unit admission, alterations in fetal heart rate, breastfeeding time, discharge time and neonatal reflexes in first day of birth in both painless and normal vaginal delivery groups. In current interventional study, 300 women admitted to delivery room of the Taleghai hospital divided to two groups. Women who are capable to perform vaginal delivery and gave their informed consent, will enroll study. In addition, patients who cannot remain immobile during procedure and do not provide consent to participate in study, excluded. One of the neuraxial painless delivery methods such as spinal, epidural and combined spinal-epidural, selected for each patient with due attention to woman parity and delivery phase and APGAR scores during first, fifth and tenth minutes will be recorded in a designed questionnaire. Afterward, using Mann Withney U statistical test, statistical differences between groups will be obtained.
