Abstract
In our study, 100 parturient in active labour (4 cm) were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria stated in the methodology. Progress of Labour was plotted in both the groups with the help of partograph. Periodically maternal vitals and fetal heart sounds were monitored. Duration of labour, mode of delivery, maternal complications, newborn apgars at 1 min and 5 mins and NICU admissions were compared. Duration of first stage and third stage is not affected by epidural. Duration of second stage of labour is prolonged by epidural compared to the control group. Epidural analgesia is a safe and effective method of pain relief during labour. It is a boon to the parturating mothers. However the women randomised to epidural group had impact over the labour to some extent.
