Combination of Intrathecal Sufentanil 10 [micro sign]g Plus Bupivacaine 2.5 mg for Labor Analgesia

Abstract

We showed that adequate labor pain relief could be provided by halving the recommended dose of 10 microg of intrathecal sufentanil plus 2.5 mg of bupivacaine. The larger dose, however, produced faster pain relief, which lasted longer than the reduced dose. The mother and baby were not adversely affected with either dose.
