Study Summary
The investigators believe that ultrasound guided CSE technique will help junior resident rotating for the first time on the labor and delivery floor to place more accurately the epidural needle in the midline position as compared to placing the epidural needle via palpation of anatomical landmarks. This will result in increased ability to place the spinal component with positive cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) in the spinal needle, correct midline placement of the epidural catheter, and increase the likelihood of adequate symmetrical labor analgesia/anesthesia.
Primary Outcome
The success rate of epidural with each technique and improvement
Interventions
- DEVICE Ultrasound
- PROCEDURE No ultrasound
- PROCEDURE Epidural infusion
