Failure to Extend Epidural Labor Analgesia for Cesarean Delivery Anesthesia: A Focused Review
Abstract
Extension of epidural labor analgesia for cesarean delivery anesthesia may fail. There are a number of factors associated with labor epidural catheter failure. This focused review discusses these associations and anesthetic options when faced with inadequate surgical epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
