Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of remifentanil, administered as patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), with epidural analgesia. The evaluation will be based upon the following outcome parameters: A. Quality of pain relief as determined by Visual Analogue Scale scores B. Patient satisfaction C. Fetal outcome as determined by Apgar scores, umbilical cord pH, NACS and requirement for naloxone ;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): A. Quality of pain relief as determined by Visual Analogue Scale scores B. Patient satisfaction C. Fetal outcome as determined by Apgar scores, umbilical cord pH, NACS and requirement for naloxone
