Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Primary Aims:-
• Onset of sensory & motor block
• Duration of sensory and motor block
Quality of analgesia
 
All these parameters are recorded at 2 minutes interval for first 10 minutes, at 5 minute interval from 10 to 30 minutes and at 15 minutes interval from 30 minutes to 300 minutes or until the end of delivery, whichever is earlier.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Secondary Aims:-
• Maternal Hemodynamic
• Maternal satisfaction score
• Side effects and complications
• Surgeon satisfaction score
 
 
All hemodynamic parameters were recorded at 2 minutes interval for first 10 minutes, at 5 minute interval from 10 to 30 minutes and at 15 minutes interval from 30 minutes to 300 minutes or until the end of delivery, whichever was earlier.
Maternal satisfaction score was calculated 24 hours after the delivery

Brief Summary   Various method of labour analgesia are now available which are safe and effective; beneficial to both the mother and the fetus. Lumbar epidural has been the mainstay since many years. Combined Spinal Epidural analgesia has emerged as newer and safe alternative technique. A recent technique of Dural Puncture Epidural is now a days becoming popular. The aim of the present study is to compare Epidural, Combined Spinal Epidural and Dural Puncture Epidural techniques for labour analgesia using levobupivacaine along with fentanyl as adjuvant. Aim will be accomplished by carrying out a study in 60 parturients of ASA grade 1 and 2 in age group of 20-35 years. The parturients will be randomly divided into 3 groups of 20 each. Group E (Epidural Group) will receive 15ml of 0.125% isobaric Levobupivacaine with 30µg fentanyl in the epidural space. Group CSE (Combined Spinal Epidural group) will receive 1.2ml (3mg) of intrathecal 0.25% isobaric Levobupivacaine with 25µg fentanyl and epidural top up of 15ml of 0.125% Levobupivacaine with 30µg fentanyl. Group DPE (Dural Puncture Epidural group) will receive 15ml of 0.125% isobaric Levobupivacaine with 30µg fentanyl in epidural space while intrathecal medication will be withheld. Epidural top up dose will be given according to assessment of pain while Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). All the vitals will be monitored till the end of delivery. Analgesic efficacy extent of sensory and motor block, maternal and fetal outcome, duration of analgesia and maternal satisfaction score will be compared and analyzed statistically.
