Brief Summary   this study was aimed to assess the efficacy of two local anaesthetic agents ( levibupivacaine and ropivacaine) for labour analgesia. We aimed to assess the mode of delivery, analegesia score, patient satisfaction score and complications, if any.
it is a double blinded study and randomization was done by computer generated number, ealed envelope technique.
epidural catheter was placed at the first stage of labour and epidural activated with the repective study drug.
patient was monitored for analgesia, motor blockade and hemodynamics.
study ended with delivery of baby.
Results 

Mode Of Delivery: In Levobupivacaine (n=35), 4 parturients underwent Cesarian section (11.4%) and in Ropivacaine group (n=35), 13 underwent Cesarian section (37.1%) which was statistically significant (p=0.012) 

Instrumentation Among Vaginal Delivery : In Levobupivacaine Group, out of the 31 Vaginal deliveries, two had Instrumentation (6.45%). In Ropivacaine group, out of the 22 Vaginal deliveries, one underwent Instrumentation (4.54%) which was statistically not significant (p=0.739)

Hemodynamics , baby apgar, maternal satisfaction were comparable in both groups with no side effects
