Background & Methods: the aim of the study is to compare epidural inj. Bupivacaine 0.125% and inj. Ropivacaine 0.2% to study the side effects of drug in mother and baby. Patients and relatives were explained about the procedure, advantages, disadvantages and the
importance of their co-operation. Written and informed consent of the patient and their relatives was obtained. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of 60 each. Xylocaine sensitivity was done and all parturients were encouraged to empty their bladder.
Results: Both the groups showed no statistically significance (P>0.05) changes in pulse rate at any point of time from 0 minute till the time of delivery. Thus excluding the possibility of tachycardia and bradycardia. Both the groups showed no statistically significant (P>0.05) changes in systolic blood pressure at any point of time from 0 minute till the time of delivery. Conclusion: Safe and effective methods for pain relief during labour are demanding and hence the present study was undertaken to find out the effect of different local anaesthetics on effectiveness of epidural analgesia in labour and on safety of mother and baby
