The advantages of caudal anaesthesia in obstetrics far outweigh the few disadvantages. The perinatal mortality of premature infants is reduced under caudal anaesthesia. ⋯ It is possible to carry out all vaginal and abdominal procedures with this anaesthesia. The elimination of pain during labor and delivery permits a more intensive experience of labor and delivery for the mother under caudal anaesthesia.
