简要总结
The goal of this study is to evaluate the quality and safety of labor analgesia by comparing the use of Dural puncture epidural technique to Standard epidural technique while maintaining labor analgesia by means of continuous epidural infusion in parturient. The main questions it aims to answer are
- Effectiveness and quality of labor analgesia
- Frequency of catheter adjustments
- Need for catheter replacements
- Incidence of failed regional anesthesia requiring conversion to general anesthesia

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Assessment
时间窗: At 30 minutes of initiation of infusion
Pain assessment by using numerical rating pain score and assessing sensory level. Numerical rating score: Pain Assessment: Numerical rating scale (NRS) 0 to 10. 0=no pain, 1-3 =mild pain, 4-7 =Moderate pain, 8-10= severe pain. Assessing sensory level: Testing will be done on specific dermatomes and will be compared bilaterally by either using one of these tests. 1. Light Touch Test: Dab a piece of cotton wool on an area of skin. 2. Temperature test: by using Ice on specific dermatomes and ask the patient if they feel cold sensation 3. Pinprick Test for pain sensation - Gently touch the skin with the pin ask the patient whether it feels sharp or blunt.
Need for catheter adjustment
时间窗: At 30 minutes of initiation of infusion
Persistence of either unilateral pain score (NRS) of \>4, thirty minutes after 2 boluses of 10ml of 0.125% Bupivacaine
次要结局
- Patient Satisfaction(At 30 minutes of initiation of infusion)
- Assessment of the level of motor Block(At 30 minutes after the initiation of infusion)
