Cautions and contraindications are very similar to those for epidural anaesthesia.

The figures above relate to epidural anaesthesia and analgesia in healthy individuals.

"epidural anaesthesia and analgesia significantly slows the second stage of labour".

This technique has some similarity to epidural anaesthesia, and lay people often confuse the two techniques.

He was an early promoter of the use of epidural anaesthesia during childbirth.

It is commonly used as a shorthand for epidural anaesthesia or epidural analgesia.

This is called combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia (CSE).

The central techniques include so called neuraxial blockade (epidural anaesthesia, spinal anaesthesia).

The identification of this space, allows subsequent administration of epidural anaesthesia, a technique used primarily for analgesia during childbirth.

Differences between areas in the rates of induction of labour, epidural anaesthesia, and enemas cannot be explained by differences between populations.

Epidural anaesthesia can, if the dura is punctured, lead to leakage of Cerebrospinal fluid and subdural haematoma.

When the epidural catheter has been inserted, the techniques of maintenance of block are very similar to those of epidural anaesthesia.

We also live in a medical era where (inadvertent) lumbar punctures are performed by in cases of attempted epidural steroid administration or epidural anaesthesia.

Dogliotti's principle is a principle in epidural anaesthesia first described by Professor Achille Mario Dogliotti in 1933.

Both general and regional anaesthesia (spinal, epidural or combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia) are acceptable for use during Caesarean section.

He also published further work on the mechanism of labour, the effect of epidural anaesthesia on labour, and the complication of sickle cell disease in labour.

The incidence of epidural hematoma following epidural anaesthesia is extremely difficult to quantify; estimates vary from 1 per 10,000 to 1 per 100,000 epidural anaesthetics.

The figure shows that the rates of caesarean sections, epidural anaesthesia, and forceps and vacuum extractions went down in some maternity units but increased in most of them.

Regional anaesthesia is used in 95% of deliveries, with spinal and combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia being the most commonly used regional techniques in scheduled caesarean section.

The term epidural (from Ancient Greek ἐπί, "on, upon" + dura mater) is a simplified and all-inclusive term often used to refer to techniques such as epidural analgesia and epidural anaesthesia.

Combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia (CSE) is a regional anaesthetic technique, which combines the benefits of both spinal anaesthesia and epidural anaesthesia and analgesia.

Changes in the upper airway can lead to difficulties in intubating the airway, spinal and epidural anaesthesia may be difficult owing to calcification of ligaments, and a small number of patients have aortic insufficiency.

It also found that Fraser's claim of "birthrape" during her first birth followed a planned homebirth attended by a midwife, where Fraser herself requested transfer to a hospital for epidural anaesthesia, and then subsequently requested caesarean birth without medical indications and against medical advice.
