Course of physiological labors of 120 patients with diabetes mellitus is researched. Patients were randomized into three groups depending on the anesthetic method. During labors central hemodynamic parameters, efficacy of analgesia, serum glucose level, patient and newborn status were assessed. It was shown, that the optimal method during physiological labor in patients with diabetes mellitus is naropin epidural analgesia, which stabilize serum glucose level, central hemodynamic parameters and relief pathological uterine contractions. If contraindications for epidural anesthesia exist, then perfalgan analgesia is the method of choice.
