At present, neuraxial labor analgesia is the most effective and ideal analgesia method, but there are still some common complications. This article will address the new developments, prevention, and management of several common complications, such as hypotension, postdural puncture headache (PDPH), epidural‑related maternal fever (ERMF), breakthrough pain, inadequate labor analgesia, uterine atony, transient fetal heart rate changes, urinary retention and pruritus, and conversion of epidural labor analgesia to anesthesia for cesarean delivery. The aim of this paper is to ensure both maternal and neonatal safety, and improve and standardize the clinical operation and management of delivery analgesia.
