PIEB-PCEA Versus CEI-PCEA for Labor Analgesia in Nulliparous
Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier
Summary
Epidural analgesia still have an impact on obstetric outcomes and especially on instrumented delivery rates. To assess the best maintainance regimen of epidural analgesia during labor the investigators plan to include 300 nulliparous in this multicenter randomized, double blind trial. The primary outcome will be a composite set of criteria that can lead to instrumented delivery. Secondary outcome will focus on analgesia motor block and satisfaction.
