No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study studies labor epidural analgesia and compares dilute (0.0625%) with concentrated (0.25%) bupivacaine.

We hypothesize that patients randomize to receive the concentrated drug will require more drug, will have a more profound motor block, will be more likely to require instrumental delivery and will be less satisfied than those receiving dilute epidural drugs.
