Brief Summary   Continuous research for balanced labour analgesia that provides relief
from pain while prserving motor functions has lead to development of
ambulatory labour analgesia techniques. Ambulatory labour analgesia is a
popular choice for labour analgesia because ambulation reportedly
incrteases increases maternal comfort, increases the intensity of uterine
contractions and eventually shorten labour. Various studies have
concluded that epidural tramadol is a safe and effective method for
labour pain relief better than iv tramadol. Studies that compare different
combinations of epidural drug delivery for ambulatory labour analgesia
from indian clinical scenario are few. thus, we are planning to study
effect of intermittent bolus of ropivacaine 0.1% with comination of
fentanyl 2 microgram/ml and ropivacaine 0.1% with combination of tramadol
2mg/ml in parturients with ambulatory labour analgesia.
