Clinical Trial[Obstetric analgesia using continuous epidural perfusion of bupivacaine, adrenaline, and fentanyl].
To determine the efficacy and complications of continuous epidural perfusion of bupivacaine, adrenaline and fentanyl in the relief of pain during first and second stage labour during vaginal birth. ⋯ Maintenance of epidural perfusion with 0.0625% bupivacaine with adrenaline 1:200,000 and fentanyl 2 micrograms/ml provides sufficient analgesia during all stages of childbirth.

Clinical Trial[Thoracic epidural anesthesia by the caudal route in pediatric anesthesia: age is a limiting factor].
To evaluate the success and degree of difficulty of inserting an epidural catheter into the caudal space in order to place its distal end at T10 in young patients. ⋯ It is not possible to guarantee the arrival of an 18-G epidural catheter to the thoracic epidural space by entering through the caudal route. In children over 1 year of age, the level of success decreases significantly. Easy advance of the catheter cannot be taken to be a sign of success.

Comparative Study[Headache following dural puncture in pregnant patients at term. Comparative study with non-obstetric patients].
To compare the incidence of postdural puncture headache after subarachnoid anesthesia with a 24G Sprotte needle among full-term obstetric patients as compared to non-obstetric patients. ⋯ The incidence of postdural puncture headache in obstetric patients is low and similar to that of non-obstetric patients when the 24G Sprotte needle is used.
