What kinds of differences do we see in the popularity and use of
epidural anesthesia/analgesia in OB practice?

Please repond with information from your country.  What is the
percentage of Epidurals there?
 Is Epidural anesthesia given in a "heavy" dose, causing loss of motor
control or in a "light" dose providing for decreased sensation, but
still allowing nearly normal movement?
Are "walking epidurals" done in your country? and if so:
    What is administered?
    What is the expected length of pain relief?

Thank you.
Please e-mail me privately.
