Continuous infusion epidurals for obstetric analgesia.
Continuous infusion of local anaesthetic for epidural analgesia in obstetrics was first described in 1963. t However, this method of providing pain relief in labour did not become popular, probably because of the limitation of the mechanical pumps available at that time and also the tachyphylaxis associated with the use of lidocaine or mepivacaine. 2 Recently, continuous infusions have been des...
متن کاملContinuous subarachnoid infusion of 0.125% bupivacaine for analgesia during labour.
We have studied 20 primiparous women requesting pain relief for labour, to determine the feasibility of subarachnoid infusions of bupivacaine for analgesia. A 28-gauge catheter was inserted into the subarachnoid space through a modified 22-gauge Sprotte needle. After a bolus dose of up to 1.5 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, a continuous infusion of 0.125% bupivacaine was commenced. If analgesia became...
متن کاملPatient-controlled epidural analgesia versus continuous infusion for labour analgesia: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) is a relatively new method of maintaining labour analgesia. There have been many studies performed that have compared the efficacy of PCEA with continuous epidural infusion (CEI). The purpose of this systematic review is to compare the efficacy and safety of PCEA and CEI. METHODS All randomized controlled trials that compared PCEA, witho...

متن کاملIntermittent vs continuous extradural infusion of bupivacaine during labour.
Sir,—The absolute significance of the findings of Eddleston and colleagues [1] would have been much clearer if they had compared the two extradural groups with a control group which did not receive extradural bupivacainc. Although this control group would have been self-selected and not subject to randomization, the group could have been matched as closely as possible to the two study groups. I...
