The aim is to compare the clinical effect of three different concentrations of levobupivacaine (0.25%, 0.125%, and 0.0625%) on the sensory and motor block characteristics and mode of delivery during epidural labor analgesia. We also studied the pharmacokinetic profile of the three concentrations during labor.
