A systematic review of DURAL puncture epidural analgesia for labor.
This systematic review aimed to summarize the evidence derived from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing dural puncture epidural analgesia (DPEA) and conventional lumbar epidural analgesia (LEA) for women undergoing labor. ⋯ The current evidence regarding DPEA for labor analgesia remains ambiguous. Future research should investigate the optimal (spinal) needle size for dural puncture as well as factors governing transmeningeal flux of local anesthetics and opioids in the presence of a dural hole.
