The obstetric epidural is the most important and effective procedure for relieving pain during spontaneous labor. However, the application of an epidural is often challenging, especially during labor pain, and manual and communication skills are required. According to the S1 guideline, what requirements must be met in order to perform an epidural? How can point-of-care sonography of the spine be used to optimize the placement of an epidural in difficult anatomical situations? Prof. Dr. Stefan Weber, specialist in anaesthesiology, intensive care medicine, special pain therapy and emergency medicine at the Cellitinnen-Krankenhaus Heilig Geist in Cologne-Longerich, will talk about this.

The AINS Colloquium offers doctors and nursing staff high-quality training events in the fields of anesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine, pain and palliative medicine.

Participation is free of charge. Registration takes place online.
