Abstrakt: Bupivacaine 15 mg is commonly used as a test dose prior to the initial dose for epidural analgesia in labour. When 15 mg or 25 mg of bupivacaine (15 ml of 0.1% or 0.167%) with 50 microg fentanyl was administered blindly to two groups of labouring women, as an initial dose, 83% and 90% of women respectively, achieved analgesia within 20 min. All the remaining women achieved analgesia with a further dose of 10 mg bupivacaine (10 m10.1%) with fentanyl 2 microg per ml given at 20 min.
