Comparision of the Effect of Epidural versus Spinal Analgesia on Labor Length and Maternal Satisfaction
Design
This study was designed as a double-blind randomized clinical trial with parallel groups and a sample size of 64 patients in each group (128 patients in total).
Settings and conduct
This study will be performed in Arash Women's Comprehensive Hospital.
After the onset of active labor, the severity of cervical dilatation and the suitability of the pelvis for vaginal delivery will be evaluated by a gynecologist. The patient will be evaluated for CVS, RS, and the baseline heart rate, BP, RR, will be recorded in a pre-designed checklist.
An intravenous line will be taken from the non-dominant hand. Ringer's lactate serum in the amount of 500 to 1000 ml is recommended as a preload.
All the tools for managing the airways of the baby will be ready to run the block. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups A, or epidural analgesia with bupivacaine 0.125% at 16 cc and fentanyl 10 mg, and group B ,divide spinal analgesia with 0.5% bupiracaine into 2.5 mg or 0.5 cc with 10 mg fentanyl. Epidural and spinal anesthesia will be performed by an anesthesiologist. The variables will then be collected in a pre-made checklist among patients
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
All women who are aged 18 to 35 years will be included in the active phase of the first phase of labor and 4-5 cm dilatation and have no contraindication for anesthesia.
Intervention groups
Group A, or epidural analgesia with bupivacaine 0.125% 16 cc and fentanyl 10 mg
Group B, spinal analgesia with bupiracaine 0.5% at 2.5 mg or 0.5 cc with 10 mg fentanyl
Main outcome variables
Labor Duration; Mother's Satisfaction
