[Continuous peridural analgesia-anesthesia during labor. Experiences and considerations].
Fifty pregnant women attending the Obstetrics Department of the University of Aquila were included in the study. Patients were matched for age, weight, height, parity, Bishop index, temperature, arterial pressure, and cardiotopography. Twenty-five patients were assigned to the control group, the remaining twenty-five received peridural analgo-anesthesia during labour and birth so as to create a continuous lumbar epidural block. The results confirmed that this method of anesthesia is an aid against psycho-physical stress and pain in pregnant women.
