Abstract
Although obstetric anesthesia should be tailored to the patient, regional anesthesia is usually safer for mother and child than general anesthesia. Each of the methods available—spinal, epidural, caudal, paracervical and pudendal—has its advantages and disadvantages. Epidural anesthesia is closest to the perfect method for obstetrics. It gives pain-free labor and delivery, with minimal fetal complications.
