International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia , 07/07/09
Palanisamy A et al. - For parturients desiring labor analgesia who have contraindications to neuraxial techniques, intravenous opioid-based patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) offers a reasonable alternative, although incomplete analgesia and maternal and neonatal respiratory depression can occur. Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective alpha2 agonist with negligible placental transfer, may be a valuable adjunct to IVPCA by providing additional analgesia without the respiratory depression associated with increasing opioid usage.
