T2  - Obstetric Anesthesia
AB  - The  majority  of  complications  involving  peripheral  nerves  are  unrelated  to  the  anesthetic  technique  and  more  likely  due  to  obstetric  circumstances.  A  survey  of  6057  women  who  delivered  in  Chicago1  reported  an  incidence  of  lower  extremity  nerve  injuries  of  approximately  1%  (24  lateral  femoral  cutaneous  nerve,  22  femoral  nerve,  3  peroneal  nerve,  3  lumbosacral  plexus,  2  sciatic  nerve,  3  obturator  nerve,  and  5  radicular  injuries).1  Significant  risk  factors  for  peripheral  nerve  injury  (PNI)  were  nulliparity  and  a  prolonged  second  stage  of  labor,  but  not  neuraxial  anesthesia.  The  findings  of  this  survey  corroborate  those  of  the  Leeds  study,2  stating  that  “that  postpartum  neurologic  dysfunction  is  more  frequent  if  specifically  sought,  and  support  the  clinical  impression  that  significant  neurological  deficits  occur  irrespective  of  the  use  of  regional  anaesthesia.”
