Effect of Epidural Opioid Administered in the First A Period on the Progress of Labour

Summary

Epidural anesthesia is used to relieve labour pain which helps reduce labour stress, increase comfort and improve cooperation with medical personnel. Administering opioid into the epidural space before cervical dilation of 4cm in the primigravida or 3cm in the multiparous can effectively reduce the pain levels with no effect on the labour progress. The aim of the study is to compare different opioids administered in this early labour stage.
