Room 309, 10/17/2000 2: 00 PM - 3: 30 PM (PD) A Comparison of Intrathecal Fentanyl and Sufentanil for Labor Analgesia

A comparison of intrathecal fentanyl and sufentanil for labor analgesia.

BACKGROUND The use of intrathecal opioids for labor analgesia continues to gain popularity, but there are limited data to guide this use. Previously, the authors established the ED50 for 60 min of labor analgesia from intrathecal sufentanil using an up-down sequential allocation study design. The current study first establishes an ED50 for intrathecal fentanyl using this same study design to es...

Bupivacaine augments intrathecal fentanyl for labor analgesia.

BACKGROUND fentanyl has been shown to be an effective analgesic for labor; this study investigated the analgesic effect of low-dose bpivacaine added to intrathecal fentanyl for labor analgesia METHODS Ninety parturients in active labor who requested regional analgesia were randomized to receive an intrathecal injection of either fentanyl, 25 microg; bupivacaine, 1.25 mg, with fentanyl, 25 mic...

Poster Session 1 2 - 3 : 30 pm

Intrathecal neostigmine and sufentanil for early labor analgesia.

BACKGROUND Recent efforts to improve the combined spinal epidural (CSE) technique have focused on adding opioids to other classes of analgesics. In this study, the authors used intrathecal neostigmine in combination with intrathecal sufentanil to investigate the usefulness of neostigmine for reducing side effects and prolonging the duration of sufentanil. METHODS One hundred six healthy pregn...
