چکیده
Background. The transient effects of epidural bupivacaine 0.25–0.5% on the Doppler velocimetry of umbilical and uterine arteries had been reported, but the effects of continuous lower dose epidural bupivacaine (0.05–0.1%) infusion for labour analgesia have never been reported. In this study, we evaluated the effects of continuous epidural bupivacaine 0.075% on the Doppler velocimetry of uterine arteries.

متن کاملEffects of epidural analgesia on uterine artery Doppler in labour.
BACKGROUND The effects of epidural anaesthesia on maternal uteroplacental blood flow in the presence of uterine contractions remain unclear. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of epidural analgesia with bolus doses on uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) during labour. METHODS In a prospective case-control study, UtA-PI was measured during uterine contraction and relaxation...
