Predictive factors of epidural rescue in combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
Article in Pain management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCombined spinal-epidural (CSE) is often recommended for cesarean deliveries expected to have prolonged duration. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the need for epidural rescue anesthesia during CSE for cesarean section, to better refine clinical indications for this technique. METHODOLOGY: This retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2020 to 2022 at the maternity of Toulouse University Hospital, France. Data were collected from 230 patients who underwent CSE for cesarean delivery. The mean age was 34.3 ± 5.6 years, 69.1% had previous cesarean sections, and 70% had a BMI > 24.9. Univariate analysis identified potential predictors, which were then included in multivariate logistic regression to determine independent factors associated with epidural rescue.
resultsThe overall rate of rescue epidural anesthesia was 16.5% (38/230). Multivariate analysis identified three independent predictors: gestational diabetes (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.39, 95% CI: 1.07-5.29,
conclusionGestational diabetes, postpartum hemorrhage, and surgical duration exceeding 62 minutes significantly increase the likelihood of epidural rescue during CSE for cesarean delivery. These findings could guide more selective CSE use, potentially avoiding unnecessary epidural catheter placement in low-risk situations.
