Implication

Epidural may transiently reduce uterine activity without fetal heart rate changes; leaves open effects on labor progression.

Structured PICO

Does epidural block with bupivacaine affect fetal heart rate and uterine activity in nulliparae at term?

P
Population
25 nulliparae at term
I
Intervention
Epidural block with bupivacaine
O
Outcome
Fetal heart rate, uterine activity, and the frequency and intensity of contractionssurrogate

Epidural analgesia with bupivacaine temporarily decreases uterine activity but does not induce important changes in fetal heart rate.
