No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports epidural analgesia for labor pain without prolonging active phase; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Reddy et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Normal labour (n=60). Epidural analgesia (Bupivacaine and Fentanyl) vs. No analgesia (or 100 mg I.M. Tramadol if requested) was evaluated on Duration of active stage of labour (minutes) (p=0.071). Epidural analgesia with Bupivacaine and Fentanyl provided significant pain relief without significantly prolonging the active stage of labour (250.17 vs 302.00 minutes, p=0.071) compared to no analgesia.
