Epidural Anaesthesia: A Key Tool with Significant Benefits Epidural anaesthesia and analgesia have become some of the most popular choices for anaesthesiologists, thanks to their many benefits and strong safety profile. One major advantage is that it allows us to work with an awake patient without compromising the airway—a critical concern for anaesthesiologists. This makes it especially valuable in scenarios where airway management can be challenging. However, the placement of an epidural is a technical procedure, and it remains one of the more difficult techniques due to its "blind" nature. Despite new modalities, such as X-ray guidance or ultrasound, many centres continue to perform epidurals without visual aids, which can present challenges. In my opinion, patient education and thorough preoperative counselling are key to the successful placement of the epidural catheter. Building good communication with the patient, explaining the steps of the technique, and ensuring they fully understand the procedure are crucial. This not only helps prevent surprises but also reduces the risk of patient movement during the process, which can lead to failure since we are often working within millimetres spaces. By fostering clear communication and trust, we can ensure better outcomes and a smoother experience for both the patient and the practitioner #Anaesthesia #regional #anaesthesia #epidural #anaesthesia
