| Description | Epidural analgesia is still considered the “gold standard“ for labour analgesia, especially because of its efficacy. In case of its contraindication, systemic administration of remifentanil is possible. The aim of this article is to provide a summary of current information on the efficacy and safety of remifentanil during labour. There are further described possible ways of application, dosage and side effects for the mother, fetus or newborn. Some of these questions remain open and further randomized trials are needed. |
