Anyone using hydromorphone instead of fentanyl in their labor epidural infusions. I recall that in 2002, the Yale group published promising results with 0.05% bupivacaine with 3 g/mL hydromorphone infused at a rate of 10 14 mL/h. Don't know if they are still using hydromorphone, or if anyone else is as well... thoughts?
