Epidural volume extension versus dural puncture epidural analgesia for labor: A prospective randomized study
While the EVE technique necessitates a reduced total volume of local anesthetic, it results in a more rapid ascent of the dermatomal level and a quicker reduction in pain scores; we believe that both strategies can be utilized effectively and safely for labor analgesia. However, randomized comparative studies with larger sample sizes are required to find the optimal strategy.
