Randomized Controlled TrialCombined spinal-epidural analgesia for labor pain: best timing of epidural infusion following spinal dose.
The combined spinal-epidural analgesia (CSEA) technique for labor pain has attained wide spread popularity in obstetric anesthesia. The onset of analgesia is rapid and reliable, and maternal satisfaction is very high. However, the best timing of an epidural infusion following the spinal dose and its effect on the total local anesthetics consumption has not been well determined. ⋯ Our results suggest that the best timing of epidural infusion following spinal dose was within 30 min of spinal induction dose.
