Guide for use:![]() | CODE 6 Systemic opioids Includes intramuscular and intravenous opioids. CODE 7 Combined spinal-epidural block The spinal-epidural block combines the benefits of rapid action of a spinal block and the flexibility of an epidural block.

Analgesia may also influence a female's satisfaction with her birth experience and is an indicator of access to anaesthesia services, i.e. epidural analgesia is not available for females in birth events where there are no anaesthetic services. | ||||||||||||||
