简要总结
Combined spinal-epidural (CSE) is an established technique for providing labour analgesia to obstetric patients which provides rapid onset but unsustained analgesia. The epidural catheter can be used to extend and provide continuous pain relief, however during single-segment needle-through-needle CSE, the catheter is untested. This study aims to confirm placement of epidural catheters of anesthesia through the epidural stimulation test (EST) which was first described by the PI of the study for confirming placement of epidural catheters approximately 20 years ago.

结局指标
主要结局
Electrical Epidural Stimulation Test
时间窗: Duration of EST test (approximately 1-2 hours)
Investigate the ability of the electrical epidural stimulation test (EST) to determine the position of the epidural catheter anesthesia for labour analgesia after low-dose anesthetic as compared to the gold standard of clinical assessment.
次要结局
- Pain Scores(Approximately 3 hours following introduction of anesthetics through the catheter.)
