Regional analgesia is the most effective method of pain relief for labour, and maternal request is the most common indication.
For epidural analgesia, a catheter is placed in the lumbar epidural space, through which a local anaesthetic and opioid mixture is injected.
This session explains how to prepare for a regional technique, how to insert an epidural catheter, and how to establish and maintain labour analgesia.
A combined spinal-epidural (CSE) is an alternative regional analgesia technique, and this is also demonstrated.
