National survey on clinical practice in obstetric analgesia in Spain.
Introduction: A national survey was conducted among maternity hospitals nationwide to understand the variability in clinical practice for obstetric analgesia and to reach a consensus on optimal care in the future in Spain.
Materials and methods: Spanish experts in obstetric anesthesiology designed a survey on the practice of obstetric analgesia during childbirth, following a Delphi process. The survey was sent to 195 Spanish maternity hospitals between April and September 2022 using Google Forms. A descriptive study of the results was performed.
Results: Responses were obtained from 108 centres (55.4%), of which 88 (83.8%) were public hospitals. The most commonly used technique was epidural analgesia in 97 (92.4%) centres. Nine (8.6%) centres used the combined spinal-epidural (CSE) technique, 5 (4.8%) used spinal analgesia, and 3 (2.9%) used dural puncture epidural (DPE) analgesia. The most commonly used local anaesthetic was levobupivacaine 0.1-0.25% in 82 (78.1%) centres. Fentanyl or sufentanil were added to the local anaesthetic in 96 (91.4%) centres. Epidural maintenance was performed with continuous epidural infusion (CEI) + patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) or programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) + PCEA in 64 (60.9%) and 33 (30.5%) centres, respectively. Fifteen (14.3%) centres lacked alternative techniques to epidural analgesia and 25 (23.8%) did not follow obstetric analgesia protocols.
Conclusion: Despite the variability in clinical practice for obstetric analgesia in Spain, the vast majority of centres follow recommendations in this field. There is room for improvement, which should be considered a fundamental strategy for progressing towards excellence.
