Comparative study for induction of painless labor between bupivacaine 0.25%, bupivacaine-fentanyl and clonidine-fentanyl

ABSTRACT

Labor analgesia is better provided by the epidural administration of local anesthetics with adjuvants e.g Opioids and alpha agonist to reduce local anesthetic requirements and side effects [e.g] systemic toxicity and motor blockade. 60 pregnant women subjected to Action; Group I; Group II; Group III-Onset of analgesia; 20 Min; 17 Min; 26. Min-Duration of analgesia; 57 Min; 72 Min -; 57 Min-Motor Weakness; Sever; Moderate; Mild-Hemodynamic changes; Mild; Mild; Mild. From the previous study we concluded that the addition of adjuvants to local anesthetics in epidural labor analgesia is better than local anesthetics alone as regard complication and obstetric intervention
