Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare adequacy of analgesia in parturients receiving labour epidural with 0.15% and 0.2% ropivacaine during first and second stage of labour, by assessing analgesia using visual analogue score at 15 minutes after epidural catheterization.Timepoint: 1. To compare adequacy of analgesia in parturients receiving labour epidural with 0.15% and 0.2% ropivacaine during first and second stage of labour, by assessing analgesia using visual analogue score at 15 minutes after epidural catheterization.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess the time taken for the onset of analgesia in women receiving labour analgesia with ropivacaine (0.15% and 0.2%): 2. To assess the incidence of motor blockade, incidence of instrumental delivery & caesarean section in the above population. Timepoint: 1.within first 10 minutes 2.at the end of study
