  • Title: The extension of labour epidural analgesia for Caesarean section.
    Author: Milne MK, Dalrymple DG, Allison R, Lawson JI.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 1979; 34(10):992-5. PubMed ID: 539648.
    Abstract:
    Seven hundred and twenty-two patients who received epidural analgesia during labour were delivered by Caesarean section. The block was extended in 554 patients to provide analgesia for surgery. In twenty-one cases incomplete analgesia necessitated general anaesthesia. The main complications were maternal hypotension (15.9%) and vomiting (17.1%). Almost all patients expressed enthusiasm for the technique.
