Anesthesia & Analgesia: Oct 2015 Volume 121 Issue 4 p 981-987 Authors: Bauchat, Jeanette R. MD et al BACKGROUND: Neuraxial analgesic techniques are the most effective form of labor analgesia. Small studies (9–21 patients), conducted 10 to 20 years ago, demonstrated successful neuraxial labor analgesia in only 50% to 66% of patients with surgical correction […]
