Epidural analgesia is frequently used for the laboring woman and commonly regarded as safe. The association of epidural analgesia with fever, in the absence of infection, in this population can result in unnecessary sepsis workups in both neonates and mothers. Studies in other populations of patients have found that epidural anesthesia may be associated with alterations in white blood cell count parameters. This study was designed to determine if epidural analgesia is associated with alterations in immune profile or immune function in healthy afebrile postpartum women.
