Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the addition of a medication called epinephrine to spinal medications prolongs the duration of the anesthesia. The medication standardly used in spinal anesthesia is a local anesthetic (bupivacaine) and an opiate pain medication (morphine). These medications typically last about 2 hours. The investigators want to determine if adding epinephrine to the spinal medications prolongs the anesthetic without side effects. A longer duration of anesthesia may be useful in prolonged repeat cesarean section. Epinephrine is known to prolong the action of some local anesthetics, but the investigators want to specifically study combining it with the medications the investigators use regularly for cesarean section. You may qualify to take part in this research study because you are having a repeat cesarean section. Repeat cesarean sections sometimes last longer than 2 hours. The investigators want to determine if epinephrine will prolong the anesthetic.
