Abstract

(British Journal of Anaesthesia. 2022;129:567e580) Epidural-related maternal fever (ERMF) occurs in 15% to 25% of laboring women who receive analgesia. ERMF is not seen in non-pregnant or pregnant women who are not in labor. The cause behind ERMF is not yet understood. There have been studies on a number of preventative interventions for ERMF. This systematic review aimed to compare the effectiveness of proposed interventions, primarily in terms of the incidence of ERMF, and secondarily, by comparing the incidence of neonatal sepsis evaluation and neonatal admission to level 2 care.
