HERRERA GOMEZ, Pedro José e MEDINA, Paula Andrea. Problems in obstetric analgesia. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2014, vol.42, n.1, pp.37-39. ISSN 0120-3347.
Despite countless statements from international agencies, pain management during labor and delivery is insufficient due to the hurdles imposed by the health system, and also to the misconceptions regarding epidural analgesia among patients, but worse still, among nurses, obstetricians and anesthesiologists. This article mentions the point of view of outstanding international institutions on the subject, the problems that may be attributed to the health system, and the limitations imposed by specialists, emphasizing in particular the views prevailing among obstetricians and gynecologists that explain why a large proportion of women in child birth experience pain unnecessarily.
