MENDOZA VILLA, Juliana María. Dexmedetomidine as adjunct for analgesia in labor. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2012, vol.40, n.1, pp.79-81. ISSN 0120-3347.  https://doi.org/10.1016/S0120-3347(12)70014-X.

At present, remifentanil is the first choice in obstetrical patients who are candidates for intravenous analgesia during labor, although in some cases, the use of this opioid does not provide adequate pain control. This article summarizes two cases where dexmedetomidine was used successfully as an analgesic adjunct to intravenous remifentanil during labor.
