Summary

The objective of this study will be to compare epidural infusion management, specifically looking at infusion rate changes, in patients who receive forceps deliveries versus normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries. We will match patients based on time and date of delivery, as well as parity, in order to eliminate these variables as potential con-founders.

We hypothesize patients who require a decrease in their basal labor analgesia epidural infusion rate will have an increased incidence of forceps delivery.
