Summary
Epidural anesthesia is used to relieve labour pain which helps reduce labour stress, increase
comfort and improve cooperation with medical personnel. Administering opioid into the
epidural space before cervical dilation of 4cm in the primigravida or 3cm in the multiparous
can effectively reduce the pain levels with no effect on the labour progress. The aim of the
study is to compare different opioids administered in this early labour stage.
