Brief Summary

This study investigates how the temperature of local anesthetics affects maternal fever related to epidural analgesia during childbirth. The research is a prospective, randomized controlled trial involving 424 participants from two hospitals. The primary objective is to investigate the impact of local anesthetic solution temperature on intrapartum fever in parturients. Secondary goals include assessing the impact on the efficacy of epidural analgesia and various maternal and neonatal outcomes. Participants will receive either 37°C or 23°C anesthetic solutions, and data will be collected on fever rates, pain scores, and other health indicators. The study runs from January 2024 to December 2026.
