Study Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of intrathecal hydromorphone on the duration of labor analgesia and the incidence of epidural-associated temperature increase in laboring parturients. We hypothesize that intrathecal administration of longer-acting hydromorphone will: 1. Prolong the duration and improve the quality of analgesia in labor, and 2. Decrease the incidence of epidural-associated temperature increase in labor.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome measure will be the incidence of maternal temperature increase, defined as an increase in maternal temperature by 1 degree celsius over the baseline temperature recorded prior to the onset of epidural analgesia.

Interventions

  • DRUG Hydromorphone
  • DRUG Fentanyl
  • DRUG Hyperbaric bupivacaine
