Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Breakthrough pain

    Proportion of patients in each group who required a provider administered supplemental bolus for breakthrough pain

    Duration of labor with epidural

Study Arms (3)

Group A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Bupivacaine 0.08% - fentanyl 2mcg on the following pump settings: PIEB flow rate = high; interval = 60 min

Drug: Bupivacaine 0.08% - fentanyl 2mcg

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

Bupivacaine 0.08% - fentanyl 2mcg on the following pump settin PIEB flow rate = high; interval = 45 min

Drug: Bupivacaine 0.08% - fentanyl 2mcg

Group C

EXPERIMENTAL

Bupivacaine 0.08% - fentanyl 2mcg on the following pump settin PIEB flow rate = low; interval = 45 min

Drug: Bupivacaine 0.08% - fentanyl 2mcg

Interventions

In each arm, bupivacaine and fentanyl are being delivered at different intervals and rates for the maintenance of labor analgesia.

You may qualify if:

  • Singleton, vertex presentations at term (37-42 weeks gestational age)
  • \</= 5cm cervical dilation at the time of epidural anesthesia request
  • ASA 2-3 patients aged 19 or over who are able to provide informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindications to neuraxial analgesia or risk factors likely to affect placement or function of the epidural
  • History of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to local anesthetics or opioids
  • Current or historical evidence of any significant medical conditions
