Teaching Epidural for Labor Analgesia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Teaching and learning in anesthesiology is a demanding and complex task because the majority of the teaching and learning takes place in clinical settings, where the safety and comfort of the patient must be balanced against the responsibility for the education of the trainee. Teaching and learning epidural for labor analgesia can be especially demanding because the patient may be in severe pain and therefore be unwilling to participate in a teaching encounter. Also, the clinical setting in a delivery room where relatives are present may not be a comfortable environment for teaching and learning. Epidural for labor analgesia can therefore be difficult to teach and learn in a clinical setting and is a challenge to both the teacher and the trainee [1, 2].
