Experience obtained from 115 childbirths with catheterisation for epidural analgesia is reported in this paper. Reduction of labour pain was optimum with all patients.--The rate of CTG alterations and acidosis of foetal blood was not beyond that recordable from normal deliveries. The rate of vaginal surgery was increased to 14.8 per cent due to one patient in whom expulsion was delayed and the expulsion period thus prolonged.

Reported in this paper is a combination of "single shot" peridural analgesia with termed delivery, in the context of 100 patients. The analgesic method was applied individually to any of the women involved, depending on aggravating nociperception, all under compulsory cardiotocographic control. The results are given with reference to both objective parameters and interviews with the patients. The authors' own modification seems to be suitable for large-scale routine use.
