Infection is a potentially serious complication of epidural analgesia and with an increase in its use in wards there is a necessity to demonstrate its safety. We aimed to compare the incidence of colonization of epidural catheters retained for short duration (for 48 h) postoperative analgesia in postanesthesia care unit and wards. It was a prospective observational study done in a tertiary care teaching public hospital over a period of 2 years and included 400 patients with 200 each belonged to two groups PACU and ward. We also studied epidural tip culture pattern, skin swab culture at the entry point of the catheter, their relation to each other and whether colonization is equivalent to infection. Data were analyzed using statistical software GraphPad. Overall positive tip culture was 6% (24), of them 7% (14) were from PACU and 5% (10) were from ward (P = 0.5285). Positive skin swab culture was 38% (150), of them 20% (80) were from PACU and 18% (70) were from ward (P = 0.3526). The relation between positive tip culture and positive skin swab culture in same patients is extremely significant showing a strong linear relationship (95% confidence interval = 0.1053–0.2289). The most common microorganism isolated was Staphylococcus epidermidis. No patient had signs of local or epidural infection. There is no difference in the incidence of epidural catheter tip culture and skin swab culture of patients from the general ward and PACU. Epidural analgesia can be administered safely for 48 h in general wards without added risk of infection. The presence of positive tip culture is not a predictor of epidural space infection, and colonization is not equivalent to infection; hence, routine culture is not needed. Bacterial migration from the skin along the epidural track is the most common mode of bacterial colonization; hence, strict asepsis is necessary.

Every day, more than 800 women die from causes related to pregnancy or childbirth. Since 1952 the Confidential Enquiry of Maternal Deaths Reports (CEMD) have collected and analysed data on maternal mortality in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. This publication analyses the CEMD from 1985-2013 regarding anaesthesia- and analgesia related maternal deaths during pregnancy or peripartum. During this period, there has been a reduction in directly anaesthesia-related maternal deaths to 4.3%. Yet, an increase in anaesthesia-associated maternal deaths has been recorded. The rate of fatal complications during obstetric regional anaesthesia doubled in recent years, while the fatality risk for obstetric general anaesthesia has decreased. Many of the reported maternal deaths could presumably have been avoided. The anaesthesiologist has to be familiar with state-of-the-art, guideline-based concepts for anaesthesia during pregnancy, childbirth or post partum, especially using tools like simulation. Vital sign monitoring after obstetric anaesthesia has to be identical to other postoperative monitoring, and Modified Early Warning Scores should be used for this purpose. In regional anaesthesia, current standards for hygiene have to be adhered to and patients have to be visited after spinal/epidural anaesthesia. Interdisciplinary communication and collaboration still have to be improved; careful interdisciplinary planning of childbirth in high-risk obstetric patients is strongly advised.
