چکیده
The use of high concentration (0.2-0.25%) of local anaesthetic in the past to maintain labour analgesia has been superseded by the use of low concentration (0.0625-0.125%) of either bupivacaine or ropicavaine. Ropicavaine is a new local anaesthetic that has preferential sensory blockade and less motor blockade compared to bupivacaine. Combined with low doses of opioid (such as fentanyl), the same level of analgesia is achieved while the incidence of side-effects such as maternal hypotension and motor blockade are reduced. At the same time, the incidence of instrumental deliveries is also decreased.1
