Lappen JR, et al. - Authors in this work aim to test the hypothesis that increasing the intravenous fluid bolus volume at the time of epidural placement in women with narrow pulse pressure would reduce postepidural fetal heart rate (FHR) abnormalities, hypotension, and resuscitative obstetric interventions. Findings suggest that in these women, a 1,500-mL intravenous fluid bolus decreases the frequency of postepidural fetal heart rate abnormalities, maternal hypotension, and resuscitative interventions.
