Bilateral paravertebral block provides adequate analgesia for the first stage of labour and could be an alternative analgesic technique for some parturients with contraindications to conventional labour epidurals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
