Brief Summary   This study is a Randomized,Parallel Group study. This study consists of 2 groups where Group RD who will receive 0.1% Inj.Ropivacaine + 0.5mcg/ml Inj.Dexmedetomidine and Group RF who will receive 0.1% Inj. Ropivacaine +2 mcg/ml Inj. Fentanyl. 68 Primigravida in labor will be equally divided into these 2 groups of 34 each. This study will be conducted in Shri. B M Patil Medical College, Vijayapura, Karnataka, India. The primary outcome is to compare Dexmedetomidine and Fentanyl as adjuvants in epidural analgesia in terms of the onset of epidural analgesia, duration of analgesia, rescue analgesic dose, Visual Analog Scale, maternal vitals such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation. The secondary outcome is to observe Ramsay Sedation Scale of mother, APGAR score of baby and maternal side effects like pruritis, hypotension, nausea, vomiting, shivering, respiratory depression, bradycardia.
