Abstrakt: Five hundred consecutive caudal anesthetics are evaluated with particular attention to station and dilatation as guides to instituting single-shot anesthesia. A single-shot caudal will suffice for the majority of multiparas when the cervix is 6 cm. or more dilated and the presenting part at a plus one station. Single-shot caudal anesthesia is not recommended in nulliparas until the second stage has begun. Fetal bradycardia occurring or lasting more than one-half hour after instituting a caudal anesthetic agent should be considered due to obstetric causes and not secondary to the anesthesia.
