An Audit of 829 Paediatric Epidurals in a Tertiary Singapore Hospital: Complications and Conundrums.

CONCLUSION: Epidural analgesia has been shown to be associated with a relatively low risk of complications both in the adult and paediatric populations, albeit with a fourfold increased risk in the latter cohort. Adverse events reported are largely related to catheter problems and have minimal impact upon the patient. PMID: 28821891 [PubMed - in process]
