Summary

In current obstetric anesthesia practice, epidural analgesia is the most effective technique to control labor pain for those women who request pain-free delivery. Epidural analgesia not only allows us to obtain greater pain relief and increased satisfaction of mothers, but also permits us to convert it to regional anesthesia in case of operative delivery, avoiding general anesthesia.

One of the major concerns with epidural anesthesia in labor setting is the inability to produce an intensive analgesia or adequate level to proceed with cesarean section. This study is designed to examine the hypothesis that 10ml epidural normal saline to reduce rate of one-side block, low segmental block, and patch block, and improve quality of labor epidural analgesia/ anesthesia in obstetric population.
