Abstract

Continuous epidural infusion (CEI) can provide analgesia during labor. The dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique is used to accelerate the onset of neuraxia anesthesia. The primary objective of this study was to compare the percentage of patients that received adequate labor analgesia following an injection of 0.08% epidural ropivacaine via the DPE and CEI techniques combined with the PIEB mode of maintenance.
