Delivery and labour pain is normally the most painful event in a woman's lifetime. Physical and psychological factors may influence the severity of labour pain, and labour pain relief is an important issue for the obstetric anaesthetist. We describe the current most effective pharmacological techniques used for labour analgesia: systemically with remifentanil and regionally with epidural analgesia.
