Özet
This study was performed with 42 pregnant women, planned to have vaginal delivery. The patients were allocated randomly to one of the two groups. After inserting epidural catheter, 0.5 % bupivacaine 4 ml and fentanly 2 ml were diluted to 15 ml with 0.9 % saline and administered to all patients with the epidural catheter when VAS scores were greater than 4. Bupivacaine 0.125 % concentration prepared with 0.9 % saline for PCA pump and 30 min after the first close, PCA pump was activated. To group I (n=21), 12 ml/h-1 bupivacaine was administered as continuous epidural infusion (CEI) and the patients in group II (n=21) were allowed to self-administer 3 ml of bupivacaine with a lockout interval of 10 min. VAS scores in group II were significantly lower then group I (p<0.05) and total bupivacaine consumption was also higher in group I (p<0.05). We concluded that PCEA could be used in labour analgesia as an alternative method.
