Continuous epidural infusion of 0.05% bupivacaine plus hydromorphone for labor analgesia: an observational assessment in 1830 parturients.

چکیده
IMPLICATIONS We evaluated a continuous epidural infusion containing bupivacaine 0.05% plus the opioid hydromorphone in 1830 women requesting pain relief during labor and delivery. The infusion provided effective analgesia with minimal adverse events for patients differing in parity and at varying stages of labor. Pain relief was maintained in most patients without the need for epidural reinforcement with more concentrated doses of local anesthetic.

Patient-controlled epidural analgesia for labor.
Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) for labor was introduced into clinical practice 20 yr ago. The PCEA technique has been shown to have significant benefits when compared with continuous epidural infusion. We conducted a systematic review using MEDLINE and EMBASE (1988-April 1, 2008) of all randomized, controlled trials in parturients who received PCEA in labor in which one of the fol...
متن کاملEpidural analgesia with a bupivacaine-fentanyl mixture in obstetrics: comparison of repeated injections and continuous infusion.
We compared the efficacy and side-effects of continuous infusion versus repeated injections of epidural bupivacaine-fentanyl during labour. Forty-four parturients were randomly distributed into two groups balanced for population size, morphology and parity. Analgesia was begun at the same stage of labour with a mixture of 20 ml 0.25 per cent plain bupivacaine and 2 ml (100 micrograms) fentanyl....
متن کاملAssessment the effect of fentanyl and dexmedetomidine as adjuvant to epidural bupivacaine in parturients undergoing normal labor
Background: Dexmedetomidine acts on the pre and post-synaptic sympathetic nerve terminal and central nervous system. It decreases the sympathetic outflow and norepinephrine release; therefore it leads to sedation, analgesia and hemodynamic effects. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of fentanyl and dexmedetomidine as adjuvant to epidural bupivacaine in parturients undergoing normal ...
متن کاملA comparison of motor block between ropivacaine and bupivacaine for continuous labor epidural analgesia.
The aim of the present study was to compare the amount of motor block produced by different loading doses of ropivacaine and bupivacaine when delivered in a dilute solution with added opioid. Sixty-eight healthy term primigravid parturients were randomized to receive an initial bolus dose of 10 mL of 1 of the following: 0.25% bupivacaine (high bupivacaine), 0.25% ropivacaine (high ropivacaine),...
