[Inadvertent epidural ampicillin administration during labor: case report].

CONCLUSIONS: The majority of errors are due to syringe and drug exchanges, and inadvertent route administration. Erroneous administration into the epidural space can have immediate and late effects and there is no definitive and effective treatment. There are several preventive measures to reduce the potential complications; some opt for watchful waiting, others opt for administering other drugs as a dilution attempted.
