Study Summary
This study will compare two anesthetics techniques called Dural Puncture Epidural (DPE) and Standard Epidural as to which of the two can provide faster and potentially better at providing pain relief for cesarean sections. It will also compare these two anesthetics techniques on the percentage of women who require additional drugs to control pain during their cesarean deliveries. The results of this study will help anesthesiologists know which anesthetic technique can provide faster and potentially better at providing pain relief for cesarean sections.
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome will be the onset time of surgical anesthesia in seconds. This will be measured from the induction of anesthesia (as defined by the beginning of injection of the "Induction 1 syringe") to the point at which sharp sensation is lost bilaterally at the T6 dermatomal level (as measured by a blunt plastic neurotip® (Owen Mumford, USA) device)
Interventions
- DEVICE 25G Dural Puncture Epidural
- DEVICE Standard Epidural
