Rennes University Hospital170 enrolled

Overview

the main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three groups of epidurals with three different programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB)settings.

What is left to the judgement of the clinician, taking care of the patient during the work, is the administered dose. This often varies according to clinician deductions that take notice of height, weight, previous pregnancies In the CHU of Rennes, three dosages are used in common practice. The objective by comparing these three dosages is to show if there is a significant difference between the groups.
