    Department of Anesthesiology, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY, USA
    Am J Obstet Gynecol 186:S69-77. 2002
    ..Epidural use and urinary incontinence are associated immediately postpartum but not at 3 or 12 months. The mechanisms of these unintended effects need to be determined to improve epidural labor analgesia...
  2. ncbi Lumbar sympathetic blocks speed early and second stage induced labor in nulliparous women
    B L Leighton
    Anaesthesia Department, Women s College Hospital, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
    Anesthesiology 90:1039-46. 1999
    ..The authors compared the effects of initial lumbar sympathetic block with those of epidural analgesia on labor speed and delivery mode in this pilot study...
  3. ncbi Multiport epidural catheters: does the air test work?
    B L Leighton
    Department of Anesthesiology, Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

    Semin Perinatol 26:122-35. 2002

    Department of Anaesthesia, University of Toronto and Women s College Hospital, Ontario, Canada
    JAMA 280:2105-10. 1998
