    Notes: The effects of 0.08% (Group A) and0.25% (Group B) solutions of bupivacaine were compared in a random manner, to assess continuous pump infusion epidural analgesia in labour. Both solutions were infused at a dose rate of 20 mg bupivacaine/hour. The results in all the mothers who had received infusions lasting more than 4 hours were studied. There were 25 11 Group A and 28 in Group B. Any treatment during the infusion epidural for inadequate analgesia, hypotension, etc., was recorded as an intervention. The mean of the intervention-free intervals n〉as significantly greater in Group A than in Group B. and significantly fewer top-up injections were required in Group.4. The results show that the administration of a 0.08% solution of bupivacaine into the epidural space by continuous pump infusion is more labour saving than the infusion of a 0.25% solution. The concept that a greater volume infusion rate maintains a more extended liquid sleeve of local anaesthetic in the epidural space is supported.

    Notes: Entonox (50% nitrous oxide in oxygen) and isoflurane (0.75% in oxygen) were compared as analgesics in the first stage of labour in 32 consenting women. The drugs were self-administered and given in random sequence, each during five consecutive uterine contractions. Each patient acted as her own control. Linear analogue pain scores were signijicantly lower (p 〈 0.001) with isoflurane than with Entonox, but scores for drowsiness were higher for isoflurane. Further study is needed to assess the effects of more prolonged use of isoflurane in labour.
