Medicaid moms clearly were not provided as many epidurals, noted Dr. Lorraine Jordan, a certified registered nurse anesthetist and director of research at the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. Despite the clear insurance link, Dr. Obst, a certified registered nurse anesthetist, said the findings suggest that other factors also influence the type of anesthesia a woman receives, such as patient and provider preferences. Acknowledging that the study is limited to one state and 1 year of data, Dr. Obst said there is a need for a broader national assessment of pain control options for obstetrical patients.
