Summary
The analgesic approach in labor can be done in different ways, among which the neuraxial
approach has shown the best analgesic results and fetal outcomes. Currently, programmed
epidural intermittent bolus has been included in the neuraxial approach for a better
distribution of the solution into the epidural space as compared with the continuous infusion
strategy. In this study, the investigators seek to compare both strategies in 132 laboring
women.
