Why the study?
Ropivacaine and bupivacaine provide adequate epidural labor analgesia, but comparisons of sensory block onset and maternal/fetal outcomes between them when combined with fentanyl were needed.
Does epidural ropivacaine with fentanyl improve the onset of sensory block compared to bupivacaine with fentanyl in ASA II parturients?
Does epidural ropivacaine with fentanyl improve the onset of sensory block compared to bupivacaine with fentanyl in ASA II parturients?
Epidural ropivacaine with fentanyl provides a faster onset of sensory block for labor analgesia compared to bupivacaine with fentanyl.
