| Where available, more than one in five women will request epidurals for pain relief in labour. |
| Anaesthetists want to prove epidurals work well and they don't want to follow up on stories of backache or discomfort. |
| The policy states that epidurals should not be denied because of the patient's insurance and that nurses should not be restricted from managing regional anesthesia. |
| While in the US most women receive epidurals for pain relief in labor and many elect labor inductions, neither of these common procedures is evidence based. |
| This included the ability to induce labour and the use of epidurals to ease difficult pregnancies. |
| Low dose mobile epidurals are generally more attractive to women in labour than traditional epidural techniques. |
