Dear collegues,
1. I am writing a Cochrane protocol about inhaled analgesia for pain mana=
gement during labour. Can someone tell me about the most recent figures f=
or the USA, UK and Canada of the percentage use of epidural analgesia dur=
ing labour, from the women of which birth ended vaginal? I read the figur=
es of the UK (DOH, 2005) and from Declercq (2002) but they are not the r=
ecent ones (in the Netherlands it is around 10% in 2008).
2. Does someone know something about the use of methoxyflurane as inhaled=
analgesia for pain relief during labour which is still being used in the=
ir enviroment/hospital/region?
With kind regards,
Trudy Klomp
