Edward Tuohy: the man, his needle, and its place in obstetric analgesia
Reg Anesth Pain Med.
2002 Sep-Oct.
Abstract
The introduction of a needle designed by Ralph Huber and Edward Tuohy made continuous epidural anesthesia for labor possible. Neither the needle nor the regional anesthetic technique evolved in a vacuum; both were the culmination of a range of ideas developed by individuals around the world.
