Of 309 consecutive cases of epidural analgesia provided by obstetricians, 250 set up by junior obstetric staff. Midwives managed the epidural analgesia and gave the top-up doses as part of their traditional role in providing pain relief in labour. This practice was thought to be influential in producing a high sponn epidural analgesic service can safely be provided by obstetricians in a small maternity hospital.
在产科医生提供的309例连续硬膜外镇痛病例中，250例由初级产科工作人员操作。助产士管理硬膜外镇痛并给予追加剂量，这是她们在分娩时提供疼痛缓解的传统职责的一部分。这种做法被认为对提供高质量硬膜外镇痛服务有影响，在小型妇产医院，产科医生可以安全地提供此类服务。
