Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of two different concentrations of ropivacaine (0.1% and 0.2%) used in programmed intermittent epidural boluses (PIEBs) for pain management during labor.
- Both regimens provided satisfactory pain relief without causing motor blockade, but the 0.2% ropivacaine concentration resulted in greater pain relief and higher patient satisfaction.
- The 0.2% group also had lower diastolic blood pressure and APGAR scores for newborns, while overall anesthetic consumption was similar across both groups.
