Cocaine used for Epidurals
In the decades after the cocaine was being used, doctors began using flexible tubes called catheters to deliver the medicine. The end of the tube was inserted under the skin and was used to deliver the drug whenever it was needed, so doctors didn't have to continuously poke laboring women with needles. But these epidurals were still a long way off from those of today.
