This is a request for information about epidurals. How many years ago was
fentanyl first used in epidurals? What is the approximate percentage of
women who receive epis or intrathecals (regional anesthesia) at your
hospital? And finally, have you noticed that the dosage of the meds
(bupivacaine, fentanyl) has gradually decreased over time? Thanks ahead of
time for your help.
