Comparative Study
[Comparison of continuous extradural analgesia during labor using 0.25% bupivacaine or mixtures of 0.25% bupivacaine and fentanyl].
We have compared effects of epidural analgesia in labour in two groups containing 35 primiparous each and in two groups containing 35 multiparous each. We have administered either bupivacaine or bupivacaine with fentanyl. ⋯ This investigation has shown that use of 0.25% bupivacaine with fentanyl requires less quantity of bupivacaine in both groups of primiparous and multiparous. The addition of fentanyl to 0.25% bupivacaine can be beneficial alternative of epidural analgesia in labour.
