AB Most  women  experience  moderate  to  severe  pain  during  labor  and  delivery,  often  requiring  some  form  of  pharmacologic  analgesia.1  The  lack  of  proper  psychological  preparation  combined  with  fear  and  anxiety  can  greatly  enhance  the  patient’s  sensitivity  to  pain  and  further  add  to  the  discomfort  during  labor  and  delivery.  However,  skillfully  conducted  obstetric  analgesia,  in  addition  to  relieving  pain  and  anxiety,  may  benefit  the  mother  in  many  other  ways.  This  chapter  focuses  on  the  management  of  obstetric  patients  with  a  primary  focus  on  regional  anesthesia  techniques.
