N2 - The authors regret that errors were present on page 359, under the heading ‘Remifentanil compared with fentanyl’, sub-section ‘Safety’. The correct paragraph should read: Safety There were significantly higher sedation scores and a higher frequency of maternal desaturations amongst women receiving remifentanil compared with fentanyl. Conversely, neonatal Apgar scores were lower (<7 at 1 min for 39% compared with 18%) and the need for resuscitation (bag-and-mask ventilation or tracheal intubation) was greater (59% compared with 25%) when fentanyl was used, compared with remifentanil. In summary: (i) Evidence suggests that remifentanil provides better pain relief than fentanyl. (ii) More frequent maternal desaturations and respiratory depression, and greater sedation occurs using remifentanil compared with fentanyl. (iii) There are lower neonatal Apgar scores and greater need for positive-pressure ventilation with fentanyl compared with remifentanil The authors apologise for any inconvenience caused.
