Interventions

PROCEDURE

Programmed intermittent bolus epidural

one arm will receive programmed intermittent boluses of local anesthetic via the epidural catheter on fixed time intervals. Standard 27G Tuohy needle epidural set with epidural catheter insertion on L2-L3 site, with the patient either sitting or in the lateral decubitus position will be used. Local injection with 6 ml lidocaine 2% will be performed before the insertion of the epidural needle
