Dear collegues,
I'm doing a systematic review for inhaled analgesia for pain management in labour. We found a rct from Yeo (2007) about the use of Sevoflurane as analgesic agent during labour. There's some controversy about this agent because there should not be any analgesic activity at subanesthetic concentrations. Before we decide to include this paper (and maybe others about Sevoflurane) we would like to know if it is still used.
1. Is anybody still using Sevoflurane as analgesic agent for inhaled pain managment during labour? Or perhaps you know other settings where they still use it?
2. What kind of inhaled analgesia (agent, concentration, during which part of labour and how administered) do you use in your own setting or do you know settings in your neighbourhood where they use it?
I would be very gratefull if you could help me with these questions.
With kind regards,
