Sixty-five women in labor received intravenous meperidine, promethazine, and scopolamine by this route in an attempt to answer this question. Relatively low dosages were necessary to relieve pain during the first two stages of labor and this was ...

Labor pain is perceived as moderate to severe pain by the majority of parturients. Untreated labor pain can activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase catecholamine levels. Increased catecholamines can cause uterine vasoconstriction, tocolysis and cardiorespiratory stimulation. Untreated labor pains can have psychological consequences such as

Maintenance of Labor Analgesia
2015In the late 1970s by starting to use a low concentration of local anesthetic solution (bupivacaine 0.125 %) in a rather large volume (10 mL), most of the potential objections to the use of epidural analgesia in childbirth were overcome [1]. In fact, with this relatively low-dose, low-concentration solution, epidural analgesia was able to provide ...
