Definitions in obstetric anaesthesia: how should we measure anaesthetic workload and what is 'epidural rate'?

abstract：:Epidural sufentanil 50 micrograms was compared with intramuscular buprenorphine 0.3 mg for postoperative pain relief. Patients were assigned randomly to one of two treatment groups and received both an intramuscular and epidural injection, one of which was a placebo. Onset of pain relief was faster and quality of anal...
