Comparison of epidural dexmedetomidine to fentanyl in reducing ropivacaine dose in Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus plus Patient Controlled Epidural Analgesia during labor: A randomized, double-blind, controlled study

Comparison of epidural dexmedetomidine to fentanyl in reducing ropivacaine dose in Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus plus Patient Controlled Epidural Analgesia during labor: A randomized, double-blind, controlled study

BackgroundDexmedetomidine has been documented to reduce the dose of both intrathecal local anesthetic during cesarean delivery, and the concentration of ropivacaine needed for inducing analgesia during labor.
