Windsor Regional Hospital officials watching epidural supply shortage


Officials at Windsor Regional Hospital say they are watching and assessing a global shortage of epidural supplies.


Supply chain issues are causing a shortage in the raw materials used to catheters needed for the procedure.


An epidural is a spinal injection used for pain relief during several surgical procedures including hip surgery as well as during child birth.


Officials say they do have some supplies in stock and are waiting for direction from Ontario Health.
