Abstract
Labour is a highly complex and personal process for every woman. Analgesic intervention is a matter of personal choice for delivery. Local anesthesia given as an epidural injection along with an opioid gives quicker analgesia without impeding motor activity. Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine are commonly employed drugs to provide efficient epidural analgesia in labour. Aims: To compare the efficacy of ropivacaine with fentanyl and bupivacaine with fentanyl given as continuous infusion in labour epidural analgesia.
