Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Physiological changes during pregnancy are known to affect the pharmacokinetics of many drugs. Intranasal fentanyl is an interesting option for obstetric analgesia, but its use in pregnant patients has not been established. The investigators studied pharmacokinetics of intranasal fentanyl in labouring women and to subsequently evaluate the maternal and fetal safety after administration.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intranasal fentanyl 50 microg/dose

patient was given intranasal fentanyl 50 microg/dose up to 250 microg

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

intranasal fentanyl 50 microg dose up to 250 microg

Intervention Type DRUG

When contraction pain was ≥ 5/10 (numerical rating scale 0= no pain, 10= worst pain), the parturient was given a intranasal fentanyl 50 µg dose. After 15 minutes, if contraction pain was still ≥ 5/10, a second 50 µg intranasal dose was administered. Fentanyl was administered every 15 minute until contraction pain decreased to less than 5/10 or until the maximum fentanyl dose of 250 µg was administered.
