Epidural analgesia is increasingly popular in obstetric analgesia, but physicians disagree whether labour pain impairs parturient decision\u2010making. We investigated the fraction of parturients feeling capable of giving informed consent including their knowledge of risks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Bedside survey postpartum women at the Herlev Hospital, Denmark. The inclusion criteria were recipient of epidural analgesia during labour. A power calculation based on the recognition of genuine and false side effects required the inclusion of 50 participants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Forty out of fifty (80%) of the participants felt they could make a judicious consent during labour and 46 out of 50 (92%) felt they knew enough about epidural analgesia to give consent to the procedure again if necessary. Participants spontaneously reported a median of two risks associated with epidural analgesia. Additionally, when prompted with a cued list of true and false risks from epidural analgesia, the participants reported on average 5.1 genuine risks compared with 0.4 made\u2010up risks. The difference (4.7) suggests the included women could discern genuine risks from made\u2010up risks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The majority of participants reported the capacity to give informed consent. Our quantitative results show the participants could clearly distinguish genuine risks of epidural labour analgesia from made\u2010up risks. Our qualitative data likewise suggest that participants understood the information and consequently their informed consent was genuine. Accordingly, parturients are able to give informed consent. This is supported by parturients' ability to identify risks from epidural labour analgesia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aas.14370","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,28]],"date-time":"2023-12-28T04:47:12Z","timestamp":1703738832000},"page":"538-545","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Parturients feel capable of giving informed consent for epidural analgesia: <scp>A<\/scp> qualitative and quantitative analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"68","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6461-0586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oliver Bastian","family":"Christoffersen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Herlev Anaesthesia Critical and Emergency Care Science Unit Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Herlev and Gentofte  Herlev Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ann Merete","family":"M\u00f8ller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Herlev Anaesthesia Critical and Emergency Care Science Unit Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Herlev and Gentofte  Herlev Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L\u00e6rke Vinberg","family":"Moestrup","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Herlev and Gentofte  Herlev Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kim","family":"Wildgaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Herlev Anaesthesia Critical and Emergency Care Science Unit Copenhagen University Hospital \u2013 Herlev and Gentofte  Herlev Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","unstructured":"CuetoHT IversenPF AnderssonCB.The Danish Clinical Quality Program \u2013 Dansk Kvalitetsdatabase for F\u00f8dsler (DKF) \u2013 RKKP.
