Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame

Method of measurement: Using a Visual Analogue Scale, that patient marks his pain on a 10-cm ruler.;Progress of labor. Timepoint: During labor. Method of measurement: Measurement of the duration of the first and second stages of labor.;Motor function. Timepoint: Before and after epidural analgesia and minutes 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 after epidural analgesia and the onset and end of the second stage of labor. Method of measurement: Using Bromage Score.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame

Method of measurement: Noninvasive blood pressure monitoring.;Diastolic Blood Pressure. Timepoint: Before and after epidural analgesia and minutes 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 after epidural analgesia and the onset and end of the second stage of labor. Method of measurement: Noninvasive blood pressure monitoring.;Mean Arterial Pressure. Timepoint: Before and after epidural analgesia and minutes 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 after epidural analgesia and the onset and end of the second stage of labor.

Method of measurement: Noninvasive blood pressure monitoring.;Satisfaction. Timepoint: After baby birth. Method of measurement: Ask the patient about the amount of satisfaction.;Total dose of lidocaine. Timepoint: After delivery and catheter exit. Method of measurement: Calculate the number of lidocaine ampoules.;Newborn Apgar. Timepoint: The first and fifth minutes after birth. Method of measurement: Examination and calculation on Apgar score.;Nausea & Vomiting. Timepoint: During the first and second stages of labor. Method of measurement: Observation and ask the patient.;Sedation. Timepoint: Before and after epidural analgesia and minutes 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 after epidural analgesia and the onset and end of the second stage of labor. Method of measurement: Using Ramsay Score.;Pruritus. Timepoint: Before and after epidural analgesia and minutes 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 after epidural analgesia and the onset and end of the second stage of labor. Method of measurement: VAS Of Pruritus.;Paresthesia of Lip. Timepoint: During the first and second stages of labor. Method
