Abstract
Uterine activity was measured during the second stage of normal labour in 20 patients with and 31 patients without epidural analgesia. There was a significantly lower uterine activity integral (UAI) in patients having epidural analgesia, and it is suggested that this may contribute to the increased rate of instrumental delivery associated with epidural analgesia.Entities:
