Despite increasing popularity and significant scientific advances in relation to
epidural analgesia, there appears to be a notable lack of published literature
guiding this very specialised area of acute pain management practice.The aim
of this book is to address this deficit by providing a clear practical but
evidence-based pathway that describes in detail all aspects of epidural analgesia
delivery in an acute secondary care setting.The text also addressed many
Clinical Governance issues including risk management, evidence based practice,
education, audit and research.
