Nationwide characterization of labor neuraxial analgesia provision in Japan using a publicly accessible database

It is important to note that anesthesiologist-led LNA remains limited in Japan. While associated with more advanced techniques, 24 h availability is uncommon. To improve both access and safety, system-level strategies-such as redistribution of personnel and the implementation of collaborative tele-anesthesia networks-should be considered.

Abstract

It is important to note that anesthesiologist-led LNA remains limited in Japan. While associated with more advanced techniques, 24 h availability is uncommon. To improve both access and safety, system-level strategies-such as redistribution of personnel and the implementation of collaborative tele-anesthesia networks-should be considered.
