- Abstract
Introduction: Pain is a cause of dissatisfaction in labor. The use of lumbar epidural analgesia (LEA) in labor is widespread due to its benefits in terms of pain relief and the shortening of labor time. The study selected 50 consecutive primiparaous women in labor at Asri Medical Center. They were given explanations about the two options for pain relief (parenteral opioid /sedative or lumbar epidural analgesia and were grouped based on their pain relief preference. The epidural group received 0.125 plain bupivacaine, while other group received pentazocine intravenously. The mean of the first and second labor stage duration is shorter in the lumbar epidural group (p = 0.01 and p = 0.02). There was no difference in the rate of cesarean delivery, epidural analgesia (32% [8/25]), parenteral opioid / sedative (44% [11/25]), (OR = 0.60; 95% CI = 0.19-1.90) .The closed questionnaire showed that the overall experience of labor was much better in the lumbar epidural group (80% versus 4%). It can be concluded that more primiparous women are satisfied with lumbar epidural analgesia more than those receiving parenteral opioids/ sedatives.
