Abstract
Epidural analgesia is accepted as a good and effective method of analgesia in labor. The method is, however subject to a variety of complications, the worst being life long sequelae and death. The article presents a survey of the complications of bupivacaine epidural analgesia in labour and state prophylactic measures and treatments. The existing literature on the field is commented and criticized.
