Objective: The objective of this study is to report the strategy followed in the Hospital Universitario Puerto Real (Cádiz, Spain) to create a pre-analgesic consultation for labor in order to provide an appropriate analgesia during delivery, complying with Law 41/2002 which regulates the autonomy rights and obligations of patients regarding information and clinical documentation. We evaluate the approach taken in the rest of the hospitals in Andalusia. Material and method: We analyzed the challenges and difficulties that arose at the time and the strategy for the creation of this consultation. The questions which were raised were: At what stage of pregnancy pregnant women should attend the consultation? What staffing and training would be required to create this consultation? Where would it be located? What materials would be needed to properly inform our pregnant women? We conducted a phone survey in order to determine how our response was given to labor analgesia and how Law 41/2002 was being applying in the rest of hospitals in Andalusia. Results: The pre-analgesic labor consultation of the Hospital Universitario Puerto Real was created in February 2007. Training courses were developed for delivery room staffing. Consultations are currently carried out during the 20th week of gestation, coincident with the echography done by the Gynecology Service of the Hospital. The staffs assigned are a nurse assistant and the anesthesiologist on duty in the delivery room. The consultation room is located in the in the outpatient department of the hospital and has a capacity for 12 people. Pregnant women receive a lecture and an informative video. After this, we complete the individualized pre-analgesic assessment of each patient and the informed consent process. Since its creation, they have been cited 12,990 pregnant women. The annual average of pregnant women informed and preoperatively evaluated is of 1,384; which represents the 63.93 % of all pregnant women. Twenty-seven of the 33 hospitals of the Andalusia Health System in which deliveries are practiced, telephone survey respondents. The results of this survey show that the pre-anesthetic assessment for pregnant women is only performed in 8 centers (29.63 %), in 5 of them routinely (8.52 %) and only to high-risk pregnant women in 3 (11.1 %). The informed consents are obtained before the delivery only in 9 of the 27 hospitals surveyed (33 %). In the 18 centers remaining they were obtained at delivery (66.67 %). Conclusions: Since the foundation of the pre-analgesic consultation for delivery in our hospital, we have improved the pre-analgesic assessment of pregnant women and we have achieved complying with Law 41/2012.
