Brief summary

Ambulatory epidural anesthesia is a technique that has been described since the late 1990s and has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. Although there is currently no change in the obstetric process, this technique has been shown to improve maternal satisfaction. Ambulatory epidural s are not yet offered in the maternity wards of Strasbourg University Hospitals. However, a protocol is currently being studied and should be rolled out soon at the maternity ward of the Centre Médico-chirurgical Obstétrique (CMCO). This study aims to assess the general interest in this technique among the population concerned. It also seeks to highlight any fears patients may have that could hinder the implementation of the protocol.
