Combined Spinal/Epidural (CSE) Saline Duration/Spread
An attempt is being made to see if by injecting a set volume of sterile saline into the epidural space during the treatment of labor pain with a combined spinal/epidural (CSE) increases the amount of pain relief obtained and…

Remifentanil as Intravenous Patient-controlled Analgesia (IVPCA) During Labour
Remifentanil is a ultra short-acting synthetic opioid. It is rapidly metabolized by non-specific blood and tissue esterases. We wanted to investigate the efficacy and safety of remifentanil used as analgesia during labour.

Labor Pain
Tetracaine Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) Versus Bupivacaine CSE
The investigators hypothesis is that spinal tetracaine with fentanyl and epinephrine used for CSE labor analgesia volume will last a significantly longer period of time that that of spinal bupivacaine with fentanyl.

Labor Pain
Prophylactic Ephedrine and Combined Spinal Epidurals for Labor
The combined spinal epidural (CSE) technique has become increasingly popular for labor pain because of its rapid onset and superior first stage analgesia.
