Lumbar epidural block and the breech presentation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A retrospective survey has been made on the effect of lumbar epidural block on 72 out of 133 breech deliveries at two hospitals. Epidural analgesia was found to cause prolongation of the second stage of labour but to have no effect on the incidence of operative intervention during delivery or on the condition of the infant at birth. It is concluded that regional block analgesia is not contraindicated in the management of breech presentation.
