Lumbar Epidural Anaesthesia for Obstetrics at the Toronto General Hospital

IAIN M. MACKAY M.D., F.A.C.A.1

1 Department of Anaesthesia, University of Toronto and Toronto General Hospital

A review of 699 obstetrical cases on whom lumbar epidural block was performed shows that this technique has become quite popular in the Toronto General Hospital. The method used, in the hands of the experienced anaesthetist, produces satisfactory analgesia in the great majority of cases and seldom requires reinforcement by general anaesthetic techniques.

The complications of the method are few in number and minor in character.

Note:

Read at a meeting of the Section of Anaesthesia, Academy of Medicine of Toronto. November 19, 1956.
