Summary
A 26-year-old female, G3P2, 39 weeks pregnant, comes to labor and delivery complaining of 6/10 pain with contractions and is asking for an epidural. Her medical history is only significant for the recent diagnosis of preeclampsia. Vital signs on admission include a blood pressure of 165/82 mm Hg, a heart rate of 98, a respiratory rate of 19, and a temperature of 36.3 °C. What kind of analgesia would you offer to this patient? Do you have any concerns?
