Experience with spinal analgesia in a British obstetric unit.

Abstract:

:A series of 443 spinal anaesthetics is described. The procedures included operative vaginal delivery, removal of retained placenta and a miscellaneous group common to most obstetric units. Failure to provide effective relief of pain occurred in 5.2% of patients. There was one potentially serious complication, but with this exception hypotension was not a feature. Headache following spinal analgesia was experienced by 16.3% of patients, the frequency being greater among those who received spinal analgesia at or shortly after delivery, but was unrelated to the size of the needle (23-gauge of 25-gauge) used. Extradural blood patch promptly and permanently cured the headache. The duration of sensory and motor loss after operation varied considerably with the local anesthetic agent used. The re-introduction of spinal analgesia into British obstetric anaesthetic practice is advocated.
