Seventy-three women who requested epidural analgesia during labour were randomly allocated in a prospective study to receive either a continuous epidural infusion of 0.075% bupivacaine at a rate of 12-18 ml/hour (38 mothers) or intermittent top-ups of 0.5% bupivacaine (35 mothers). Both groups received an initial dose of 6-8 ml bupivacaine 0.5%. Patients were asked to score their pain using a 10-cm linear scale prior to insertion of the epidural, 30 minutes after its insertion and hourly thereafter. The quality of analgesia in the continuous infusion group was significantly better than in the intermittent top-up group (p less than 0.025). There was no significant difference in the total dose of bupivacaine given to the two groups.
