Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialThe effect of ephedrine on intrapartum fetal heart rate after epidural analgesia.
Adverse fetal heart rate (FHR) changes occur frequently during the first 30 minutes after epidural analgesia. The aim of this study was to estimate whether intravenous administration of ephedrine during induction of epidural analgesia can reduce the frequency of adverse FHR changes. ⋯ Ephedrine administration during the time of epidural analgesia initiation can reduce the frequency of adverse FHR changes commonly observed immediately afterward.
