Comparison of ropivacaine combined with sufentanil for epidural anesthesia and spinal-epidural anesthesia in labor analgesia

To compare the application and efficacy of ropivacaine combined with sufentanil for continuous epidural anesthesia (CEA) and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) in labor analgesia. Three hundred sixty pregnant women requesting labor analgesia from October 2017 to August 2018 were selected retrospectively. According to the anesthetic method, subjects were divided into CSEA group and CEA group. Ropivacaine combined with sufentanil were used in all subjects. The labor time, visual analogue scale (VAS), Apgar score of newborn, adverse pregnancy outcomes and adverse drug reactions were observed. There was no significant difference in pre-analgesia (T ) VAS scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). VAS scores of first stage of labor (T ), second stage of labor (T ) and third stage of labor (T ) in CSEA group were significantly lower than CEA group (P 0.05). The incidence of adverse drug outcomes in CSEA group was significantly lower than CEA group (P
