When only epidural analgesia was available 20% of women used pain relief (range 8-43%), versus 38% when epidural analgesia and remifentanil patient controlled analgesia were

We hypothesize that remifentanil patient controlled analgesia is as effective in improving pain appreciation scores as epidural analgesia, with lower costs and easier achievement of

Furthermore, in the subgroup of women who actually received analgesia, the AUC for satisfaction with pain relief after start of pain relief was significantly lower in women who

Scenario analyses show that costs of analgesia change when the anaesthetist is present and with continuous one to one nursing with patient controlled remifentanil, increasing the

The aim of this sub analysis of the RAVEL trial was to report the detailed analysis of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and temperature, in women randomised to remifentanil

Fourteen randomised controlled trials and 2 observational studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating safety and side effects of RPCA compared to

An important risk factor for development of postoperative persistent pain is treatment with remifentanil during surgery .11,12 Extrapolating these data to the perinatal
