    Abstract:
    Thirty-one healthy women who underwent Caesarean section were studied in a double-blind trial to compare the effectiveness of epidural 0.5% bupivacaine plain, 0.5% bupivacaine plus 100 micrograms fentanyl and 0.5% bupivacaine plus 50 micrograms fentanyl in the prevention of intraoperative pain. There was no difference in the quality of analgesia between the three groups. The incidence of complications was significantly higher in the 0.5% bupivacaine plus 100 micrograms fentanyl group compared with the other two groups.
