Abstract
This review considers the basic principles of each of these techniques using common clinical scenarios. The type of analgesia given will determine where labour takes place and this will be reflected in each case. Specifically, the World Health Organisation (WHO) analgesia ladder is not applicable in these patients because the periodic nature and the intensity of labour pain renders this model obsolete, although is applicable after delivery.
