Anesthesia complications in the birthplace: is the neuraxial block always to blame?
Clin Perinatol. 2008 Mar; 35(1):35-52, vii.CP

Abstract

This article highlights the common and some of the very serious complications that may occur following neuraxial analgesia for labor and delivery, including headache, backache, infection, hypotension, and hematoma. Total spinal and failed block also are discussed, as are complications unique to epidural anesthesia, such as the intravascular injection of large volumes of local anesthetic (causing seizure or cardiac arrest) and accidental dural puncture.
