Aseptic Techniques During Epidural Analgesia in the Labor Floor (EAS)
Responding to the ASRA (American Society of Regional Anesthesia) Challenge - Should Gowning be the Standard of Practice for Epidural Anesthesia: A Randomized Control Trial
There is an increasing trend in the incidence of infection related to epidural anesthesia. This could be related to methods of aseptic technique as adopted by the anesthesiologist during the performance of the procedure.
The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of aseptic technique for labor epidural insertion; a "conventional" method without wearing a sterile gown (free from living germs or microorganisms) versus strict aseptic method with wearing of sterile gowns.
It is our belief that there will be an increased contamination of epidural equipment and colonization of epidural catheter, secondary to bacterial fallout from the operators' bare hands in the group not wearing the sterile gowns.
