[Labor analgesia: Comparison of epidural patient-controlled analgesia and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia].

CONCLUSION: Although PCIVA was found to be satisfactory concerning maternal satisfaction, VAS after 2nd hour were higher compared to PCEA. PCEA is the gold standard in labor analgesia. However, we believe that PCIVA is a good alternative to epidural analgesia in cases where epidural analgesia is contraindicated or where the patient does not want an epidural.
