Effect of Epidural Anaesthesia on Clinician-Applied Force During Vaginal Delivery," Am J Obstet Gynecol 191, no. The analysis of attitudes on the most effective method to manage bladder spasm revealed that 18 of the 27 believed intravesical bupivacaine to be the most effective: four staff had no comment; two each suggested diazepam, oral oxybutynin, and removal of the bladder catheter as the best treatment, and one thought epidural anaesthesia to be the most effective management. This may happen acutely because of diminished bladder sensation such as after spinal or epidural anaesthesia, or acute urinary retention due to prostatic obstruction or clots. |
