Analgesia for 2nd Trimester Termination of Pregnancy
Analgesia for 2nd Trimester Termination of Pregnancy: a Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravenous Versus Epidural Patient Controlled Analgesia

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Epidural analgesia is known to provide superior analgesia for labour with minimal maternal and fetal side effects. This mode of analgesia is not usually offered to patients who require termination of their pregnancies or who suffer unexpected fetal losses, although they go through labour and delivery with likely more difficult psychological circumstances.
We plan to compare patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IV PCA), for 2nd trimester terminations of pregnancy. We hypothesize that PCEA provides better quality of recovery than IV PCA. The previously validated Quality of Recovery - 40 questionnaire will be used to measure a patient's quality of recovery. The results of this study will determine the optimal method of pain relief for late termination of pregnancy or fetal loss.
