Extradural methadone and bupivacaine in labour.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We performed a double-blind placebo-controlled study of the effects of extradural administration of methadone 5 mg or saline, followed by bupivacaine, in 42 women in early labour. Motor block and pain scores were significantly less in the methadone group. The requirement for bupivacaine also was reduced by methadone, but this was not statistically significant. There were no troublesome side effects attributable to methadone.

Extradural analgesia with clonidine and fentanyl compared with 0.25% bupivacaine in the first stage of labour.
Conventional extradural analgesia during labour with 0.25-0.375% bupivacaine may induce motor weakness and subjective sensory deficit, reducing maternal satisfaction. Even in a regimen for ambulatory extradural analgesia (0.1% bupivacaine-fentanyl 2 micrograms ml-1), a potential for proprioreception impairment exists, which may impair safe ambulation. We have combined fentanyl with clonidine fo...
متن کاملA double-blind comparison of 0.25% ropivacaine and 0.25% bupivacaine for extradural analgesia in labour.
Ropivacaine is a new aminoamide local anaesthetic. Compared with bupivacaine, ropivacaine possesses a higher threshold for systemic toxicity and a high selectivity for sensory fibres. We have compared prospectively these two agents in a concentration of 0.25% for extradural analgesia in labour. A total of 104 parturients requesting extradural analgesia were randomized to receive either ropivaca...

In a randomized, double-blind study of 39 mothers in labour, we have compared a loading dose of 0.5% bupivacaine 6.0 ml and fentanyl 100 micrograms given extradurally, followed by an infusion of 0.08% bupivacaine 15 ml h-1 plus fentanyl 37.5 micrograms h-1, with a loading dose of 0.5% bupivacaine 6.0 ml and saline 2.0 ml, followed by an extradural infusion of 0.08% bupivacaine alone, per hour. ...
متن کاملContinuous extradural infusion of 0.0625% or 0.125% bupivacaine for pain relief in primigravid labour.
The efficacy of an extradural infusion of 0.0625% or 0.125% bupivacaine was studied in 98 primigravid mothers in active labour. No special measures were taken to posture the mother (except to avoid aorto-caval compression). The study regimen included a control group (no infusion) receiving intermittent top-ups (0.25%. bupivacaine 8-10 ml), two groups receiving bupivacaine 6.25 mg h-1 infusion i...
متن کاملExtradural clonidine combined with sufentanil and 0.0625% bupivacaine for analgesia in labour.
We have studied the use of clonidine combined with low doses of sufentanil and bupivacaine in 45 parturients requiring extradural analgesia for the first stage of labour, in a double-blind, randomized study. We gave 0.0625% bupivacaine 10 ml containing 1:200,000 adrenaline and sufentanil 10 micrograms (1 ml) to which was added 0.9% saline, or clonidine 100 or 150 micrograms (1 ml). We compared ...
