Study Summary

Color Flow Doppler (CFD) utilizes Doppler information obtained from signals sent to and received from a transducer. This information is color-encoded and then displayed as color on an overlay of the two-dimensional image. The color scale represents both speed and direction of flow within a discrete area of the image. CFD has been recently used to determine the position of the epidural catheter. However its role in labor epidural has yet to be defined. This study describes the use of CFD to confirm the position of the tip of the epidural needle in the context of labor analgesia. This study hypothesized that CFD is a feasible method for identifying proper epidural needle placement prior to epidural catheter advancement.
