The use of epidural analgesia in the early stages of labour is safe and effective and does not delay birth, a new study ahs confirmed.
The findings, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology contradict previous studies suggesting that epidural placement at or below 4 cm of cervical dilation may lead to greater risk of labour problems and Caesarean section.
In the study, involving 223 women, epidural analgesia was found to slow progression only from 4 to 5 cm. No significant difference was found for the rest of the active labor phase.
