Summary

Epidural techniques offer the advantage of being able to titrate the level, density, and duration of the blockade through the use of a catheter and are associated with relative maternal hemodynamic stability. One of the disadvantages, however, include a raise in maternal temperature that is attributed to labor epidural technique. This study will assess if decreased maternal ventilation following induction of labor analgesia causes a raise in temperature.
