Roughly two-thirds of all fluids were administered orally, and the remaining one-third was administered intravenously (Table 1 and Figure 1). Twenty-one women (15 nulliparous and 6 multiparous) developed hyponatraemia defined as plasma sodium ≤130 mmol/l during delivery (Table 2 and Figure 2). Plasma glucose above12 mmol/l was found in six of these hyponatraemic women. Reduction in plasma sodium was significantly correlated with the duration of labour and with total fluid volume administered during labour (Figure 3). Analysis by multivariate logistic regression showed that maternal hyponatraemia was significantly correlated with total fluid volume administered during labour, but not with epidural analgesia, or oxytocin administration (Table 3). The lowest maternal plasma sodium after delivery was 122 mmol/l, and the corresponding plasma sodium in the umbilical artery was 126 mmol/l. No participant developed signs of severe hyponatraemic encephalopathy. Maternal reduction in plasma sodium correlated with longer duration of second stage (Spearman's rank correlation, n = 218, r = 0.35, P \u003c 0.001). Maternal reduction in plasma sodium was also significantly larger following instrumental vaginal delivery and emergency caesarean section for failure to progress compared with reduction in plasma sodium following spontaneous vaginal delivery (Mann–Whitney U test, n = 42, n = 202, P = 0.002). In women delivered by emergency caesarean section, plasma sodium even tended to be lower before caesarean section than immediately after delivery. However, this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.2). No woman developed hyponatraemia following caesarean section. Umbilical arterial sodium concentration showed significant correlation with postpartum maternal values (P \u003c 0.001) but was higher than maternal levels in all groups.\nFigure 1 Oral and intravenous fluids during labour in the three fluid groups (mean values used). Mean sodium content of intravenous fluids was 69 mmol/l. In addition to the 130 women who received oxytocin intravenously, 93 women received Ringer's acetate during neuraxial analgesia, and 22 women received caloric supplement as glucose 50 or 100 mg/ml. Sport drinks are included among oral fluids called ‘others’. Ringer, Ringer's acetate; Glucose+, Glucose 50 or 100 mg/ml with Na 50 mmol/l; Glucose−, Glucose 50 or 100 mg/ml without electrolytes.\nFigure 2 Fluids related to maternal hyponatraemia ≤130 mmol/l (mean values used). Hourly oral fluid intake was similar in all women (P = 0.65), but hourly intravenous infusion rates were higher in hyponatraemic women (P \u003c 0.001). However, the resulting hourly fluid volumes were similar in all women (P = 0.46). Glucose was administered intravenously as energy supply to 22 women, of these 8 women developed hyponatraemia ≤130 mmol/l after having received a mean of 600 ml glucose intravenously (range 100–1500 ml). The 14 women who did not develop hyponatraemia received a mean of 664 ml (100–2000 ml) There was no significant difference between the groups (P = 0.8). Ringer, Ringer's acetate; Glucose+, Glucose 50 or 100 mg/ml with Na 50 mmol/l; Glucose−, Glucose 50 or 100 mg/ml without electrolytes.\nFigure 3 Variation of maternal plasma sodium (Na change) during labour and caesarean section and total fluid volumes administered. Reduction in plasma sodium is significantly correlated with total fluid volume (P \u003c 0.001).\nTable 3 Interrelationships between maternal hyponatraemia (≤130 mmol/l) immediately postpartum and the various variables analysed with univariate (left) and multivariate (right) logistic regressions\nParameter Total Na ≤130 Na ≤130 (%) Univariate logistic regression Multivariate logistic regression*\nOR (95% CI) P value OR (95% Cl) P value\nFluid group**\n\u003c1000 113 1 0.9 1.00 1.00\n1000–2500 87 4 4.6 6.8 (2.9–15.7) 5.2 (2.2–12.7)\n\u003e2500 61 16 26.2 46 (8.5–247) \u003c0.001 27 (4.6–162) \u003c0.001\nOxytocin\n\u003c5 units 221 10 4.5 1.00 1.00\n≥5 units 40 11 27.5 8.0 (3.1–21) \u003c0.001 2.6 (0.9–7.4) 0.072\nEpidural\nNo 172 3 1.7 1.00\nYes 89 18 20.2 14.3 (4.1–50) \u003c0.001 — —\nParity\nMultipara 148 6 4.1 1.00\nNullipara 113 15 13.3 3.6 (1.4–9.7) 0.011 — —\nBody mass index and age are not shown (P = 0.62 and P = 0.59, respectively, in the univariate analysis and are therefore not included in the multivariate analysis).\n* Parity was deleted from the multivariate analyses with P = 0.86 and epidural with P = 0.12.\n** Fluid groups as defined in Tables 1 and 2.
