Abstract

Objective: Effective pain relief during labor is essential to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity arising due to pain-induced maternal sympathetic activation, and to avoid unnecessary cesarean sections performed due to maternal anxiety. Walking epidural analgesia on labor reveals lower pain scores, leading to higher maternal satisfaction with better cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology. Despite the extensive use and relative safety of bupivacaine, newer drugs such as ropivacaine have been developed as alternative agents to decrease the risk for cardiac and central nervous system toxicity. Materials and Methods: One hundred women who requested epidural analgesia in active labor were randomly allocated into two groups; one group received 20 mL of ropivacaine 0.125% with fentanyl 50 µg and the other received 20 mL of bupivacaine 0.125% with fentanyl 50 µg. The efficacy of analgesia, adverse effects, and obstetric and neonatal outcomes of both groups were compared. Results: There were no differences between the two study groups in the measured obstetric and neonatal outcomes. The onset time, duration of analgesia, and sensory levels were similar between the groups. Visual analog pain scale scores did not differ between the groups before analgesia or at any of the subsequent evaluation periods. Conclusion: Both ropivacaine and bupivacaine provide equivalent labor analgesia with high maternal satisfaction and tolerable adverse effects in the clinically used dose range. No adverse obstetric or neonatal outcomes were observed in either group. Therefore, either drug is a reasonable choice for labor analgesia and can be used without jeopardizing the safety of the mother and fetus.

Özet

Amaç: Doğum sırasında etkin ağrı giderimi, ağrının neden olduğu maternal sempatik aktivasyon nedeniyle ortaya çıkan maternal ve perinatal morbiditeyi ve anne kaygısı nedeniyle uygulanan gereksiz sezaryen oranlarını azaltmak için önemlidir. Doğumda yürüyen epidural analjezi uygulanması daha iyi kardiyovasküler ve pulmoner fizyoloji ile anne memnuniyetine yol açan daha düşük ağrı skorları ortaya koyar. Bupivakainin yaygın kullanımı ve görece emniyetine rağmen, ropivakain gibi yeni ilaçlar, kardiyak ve merkezi sinir sistemi toksisitesi riskini azaltmak için alternatif ajanlar olarak geliştirilmiştir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Aktif doğumda epidural analjezi isteyen 100 kadın randomize olarak iki gruba ayrıldı; bir gruba 20 mL ropivakain %0,125 + fentanil 50 ?g ve diğer gruba 20 mL %0,125 bupivakain ile fentanil 50 ?g verildi. Her iki grupta analjezi etkinliği, yan etkiler, obstetrik ve neonatal sonuçlar karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Obstetrik ve neonatal sonuçlar açısından iki çalışma grubu arasında fark yoktu. Başlangıç yaşı, analjezi süreleri ve duyu seviyeleri gruplar arasında benzerdi. Görsel analog ağrı skalası skorları, analjezi öncesi veya sonraki değerlendirme periyodlarının herhangi birinde gruplar arasında fark göstermedi.Sonuç: Hem ropivakain hem de bupivakain, klinik olarak kullanılan doz aralığında yüksek anne memnuniyeti ve tolere edilebilen yan etkiler ile eşit analjezik etkinlik sağlamıştır. Her iki grupta istenmeyen obstetrik ve neonatal sonuç gözlenmemiştir. Bu nedenle, anne ve fetüsün güvenliğini tehlikeye atmadan, her iki ilaç da doğum analjezisi için makul bir seçenek olarak değerlendirilebilir.
