50+ years of epidural analgesia in #OBAnes and yet still no agreed standardised approach for epidural cannulation. Here’s hoping for the next 50 years.

Bouncing makes no sense if using saline. Bouncing is done intermittently with incremental needle advancements. The next 2-3mm advance may = DP. Continuous advancement needs only Huber rim to exit ligament for LORsaline (test it out on a simulator) It’s the Doughty technique. doi.org/10.1111/j.13...

No idea. I presume giving quality information about labour analgesia would be a key aspect so women can make informed choices when needed. Isn’t that the essence of informed consent?

Does caesarean section count as major surgery? Just asking as a point of equity of care.

Interesting #OBAnes study but is a ED90 PIMB set dose the optimal dose if the optimal outcome = no PCEA dosing? Does that not mean that a % of patients are receiving a bigger dose than they need? The PCEA benefit = individualised titrated dosing for % who need more dose without a bigger PIMB for all
