epidural anaesthesia A form of local anaesthesia in which an anaesthetic drug is passed by way of a fine plastic tube into the space between the DURA MATER and the bony canal of the spine. This tube is passed in through a needle inserted between two of the lower bones of the spine. The method is popular for childbirth because it has no effect on the contractions of the womb (uterus) or on the respiratory centre of the baby.epidural anaesthesia
