Abstract
There are more than 700,000 deliveries in NHS hospitals in the UK every year, and more than 270,000 of these involve neuraxial analgesia or anaesthesia for labour and delivery.1 There is a high incidence of weight gain and obesity in obstetric patients, which makes neuraxial anaesthesia more challenging. Medical disorders of pregnancy such as preeclampsia may increase the risk of vertebral canal haematoma, and neuraxial anaesthesia may be required in a time-critical manner, for example at emergency Caesarean delivery.
