Comparison between Continuous Epidural Infusion and Intermittent Epidural Bolus of Bupivacaine Fentanyl Combination for Labour Analgesia
Labour analgesia has become almost synonymous with central neuraxial analgesia. Various techniques are in use from single epidural injection, continuous epidural infusion, combined spinal epidural, patient controlled epidural analgesia to programmed intermittent epidural bolus. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages though the purpose remains the same:a painless labour and a healt...
متن کاملContinuous epidural infusion of 0.075% bupivacaine for pain relief in labour. A comparison with intermittent top-ups of 0.5% bupivacaine.
Seventy-three women who requested epidural analgesia during labour were randomly allocated in a prospective study to receive either a continuous epidural infusion of 0.075% bupivacaine at a rate of 12-18 ml/hour (38 mothers) or intermittent top-ups of 0.5% bupivacaine (35 mothers). Both groups received an initial dose of 6-8 ml bupivacaine 0.5%. Patients were asked to score their pain using a 1...
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...
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 کاملBupivacaine toxicity secondary to continuous cervical epidural infusion. Case report.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A case is described of bupivacaine toxicity after continuous cervical epidural infusion in a patient with intractable cancer pain. The patient had several periods of generalized tonic clonic seizures. Serial venous blood samples were taken after the first signs of toxicity. The highest total plasma bupivacaine level was 20.3 micrograms/mL. The corresponding free bupiva...
