Sufentanil combined with ropivacaine is commonly used for epidural labor analgesia, but it may cause some adverse effects. Dexmedetomidine is suitable for long-term and short-term intraoperative sedation and analgesia, and it can reduce the use of the opioid sufentanil. This study compared the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and sufentanil combined with ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia.
