Epidural Duration Statistics
The duration of epidural anesthesia typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours.
In this post, we will explore a comprehensive overview of statistics related to epidural anesthesia in labor and pain management. From the average duration of epidural labor analgesia to the percentage of women opting for this form of pain relief, we will delve into various aspects of epidural usage and its impact on labor and delivery outcomes. Let’s dive into the data to better understand the role of epidurals in modern obstetrics.
Statistic 1
"Epidural labour analgesia generally lasts, on an average duration, of 9 hours."
Statistic 2
"Epidural steroid injection pain relief lasts for approximately 64 to 80 percent of patients."
Statistic 3
"Only 23% of deliveries were without epidural analgesia."
Statistic 4
"Local anesthetics for epidural analgesia include lidocaine 1% to 2% or bupivacaine 0.0625% to 0.125% with an onset of 15 to 20 minutes and a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours."
Statistic 5
"An estimated 61% of U.S. women who had a vaginal delivery received an epidural or spinal anesthesia."
Statistic 6
"Use of Epidural anesthesia is significantly higher in women over 35 years, at about 75% compared to 56% in younger women."

Statistic 13
"The onset time for epidural analgesia typically ranges from 10 to 20 minutes."

"In a study, it was determined that the median duration of the second stage of labor for nulliparas was 42 minutes longer in those who had epidurals, compared to those who did not."
Statistic 15
"Continuous epidural infusion of local anesthetic resulted in significant prolongation of the first stage of labor by 162 minutes in nulliparas."
