title: [Obstetrical epidural analgesia: an epidemiological in Bourgogne and Franche-Comté 1993].
abstract: Many publications report the number of epidural analgesias carried out for the last years in English-speaking countries. On the other hand, very little information exists about the incidence of obstetrical epidural analgesia performed in South and Central Europe, particularly in France. A retrospective study within the regions of Bourgogne and Franche-Comté was carried out for the year 1993 firstly, to determine the number of obstetrical epidural analgesias performed and the drugs used; and secondly, to describe the organization and the problems encountered. The result of this study leads to one major question: what is the best type of organization in order to guarantee the highest safety, given the increasing demand for epidural analgesia in obstetrics?
