PCEA: A Comparison of Different Concentration Ropivacaine for Patient-controlled Epidural Analgesia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To compare the postoperative analgesic effect and the intensity of motor block in different concentration ropivacaine plus fentanyl when used epidurally with a patient-controlled analgesia device after Cesarean delivery.

Detailed Description
-
Written informed consent must be obtained before any study specific procedures are undertaken.
-
All patients were received epidural anesthesia with 2% Lidocaine and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) for post- operative pain control. PCEA randomly allocated into three groups. Group A patients received 0.08% ropivacaine plus 4 mcg /mL fentanyl, Group B patients received 0.08% ropivacaine plus 2mcg /mL fentanyl, and Group C patients received 0.16 % ropivacaine plus 2 mcg /mL fentanyl. Dermographic data, dosage of PCEA during first 48 hours post-operation,NRS scores, patient satisfaction and the intensity of motor block will be recorded and analyzed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline in Pain Scores on the numeric rating scale [The investigators measured numeric score changing at 5 different timing. The first is when arrival post-operative care unit, the second is when arrival post-operative care unit for 2 hours. And then 6,24,48 hours after operation.]
The investigators use numeric rating scale(0~10) for pain severity measurement, 0 for no pain, 10 is the most severe pain
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline in Patient satisfaction scale [The investigators measured numeric score changing at 5 different timing. The first is when arrival post-operative care unit, the second is when arrival post-operative care unit for 2 hours. And then 6,24,48 hours after operation.]
Patient satisfaction scale (1~4), 1 for very satisfied, 2 for satisfied, 3 for fair, and 4 for unsatisfied
Other Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline in modified Bromage scale [The investigatorsmeasured numeric score changing at 5 different timing. The first is when arrival post-operative care unit, the second is when arrival post-operative care unit for 2 hours. And then 6,24,48 hours after operation.]
The investigators use modified Bromage scale for motor block evaluation. Modified Bromage scale(0~3), 0 for no motor block. 1 for inability to raise extended leg, able to move knees and feet. 2 for inability to raise extended leg and move knee, able to move feet. 3 for complete block of motor limb
