Review[Analysis of resident anesthesiologists' difficulties with epidural analgesia for labor and childbirth and complication rates].
To analyze the number of attempts to provide an epidural or spinal-epidural block for labor and complication rates when the procedures are performed by resident or staff anesthesiologists. ⋯ The number of attempts needed was 1.28 for staff anesthesiologists and 1.52 for residents (P = .02). The differences between the 2 groups in the incidences of complications (blood noted during puncture, accidental dural puncture, pain during expulsion, repeat epidural or spinal puncture, nausea, or back pain) were not significant.
