title: [Delivery with epidural analgesia (a preliminary report)].
abstract: In the last decade delivery by continuous epidural analgesia (CEA) has become a golden standard in most modem perinatal centers. The aim of this study is to find the effect of CEA on the quality of labor, mode of delivery and the condition of mother and fetus after delivery. The study is prospective and includes 15 parturients. CEA was delivered with 0.25% solution of Marcaine.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average age of the parthers was 23 +/- 5.05 years and their body weights 63 +/- 9.82 kg. 13 of the women were nulliparous and 2 multiparous. All were delivered vaginally normally. The average length of the first period of labor was 4 Hours (+/- 3.18 h) and of the second period 20 minutes (+/- 11.06) q which is different from data from current literature. Labor was estimated in the cases with i.v. infusion of oxytocin. Apgar scores of the newborns was 8-10 points. We can conclude that deliveries with CEA are eutocic, shorter and promote and excellent psychoemotional state of the parturients.
