Résumé

OBJECTIVE: Epidural analgesia (EA) is widely used in France to treat the labour pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate and analyse the reasons of EA requirements by parturients and obstetricians. STUDY DESIGN: An epidemiological survey was sent in all maternity units of four French areas. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-eight of the 84 maternity units entered the study. In each centre, 25 patients fulfilled the questionnaire and the medical team fulfilled a questionnaire about the organisation of the ward. Demands of EA by parturients during pregnancy, labour and for the next delivery were recorded, and also the offer of EA by midwives and the possibility to move in an other town to obtain an EA. Student t-test, chi2 test and logistic regression model were used as requested. p
