Abstract

Review of 1000 continuous peridural anesthesias during labor and delivery. Reasons and conditions for the application of this analgetic procedure in our delivery rooms are discussed. The duration of labor and delivery is reduced by this method. The rate of vacuum extraction and forceps delivery is slightly increased. The rate of cesarean section is independent of this procedure. No adverse effects on the fetus were found. We obtained complete analgesia in 93 per cent of the cases. Severe complications were not observed.
