1 Introduction Maternal fever during childbirth is a common symptom usually caused by two main factors. One potential cause is an adverse effect that occurs when local anesthetics are administered into the epidural space during epidural analgesia, which is a widely employed technique for labor pain management [1]. This epidural-related maternal fever (ERMF) is a non-infectious inflammatory process and affects approximately 20% to 30% of women receiving epidural anesthesia [2-4].
