Abstract
Nursing education is a key component to the delivery of safe epidural analgesia in the post-operative critical care setting [1]. An audit of our practice revealed a significant failure rate in epidural analgesia in elective major abdominal surgery patients and a high proportion of missing documentation in cases where epidural analgesia had failed.
