Summary:Regional anesthesia is widely used in obstetric practice, and in many cases is the method of choice. It in­cludes neuroaxial anesthesia (spinal, epidural, combined spinal­epidural, epidural with dura mater puncture), region­al blocks (eg, TAP block, QL block, ESP block, pudendal block, etc.), as well as local infiltration anesthesia, which is used for both anesthesia and postoperative analgesia. The correct choice of local anesthetic, its dose and concentration is of fundamental importance in obstetric anesthesiology, as it is necessary to ensure the highest quality blockade with mini­mal side effects on mother and fetus.
