Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the quality and safety of labor analgesia by comparing the use of Dural puncture epidural technique to Standard epidural technique while maintaining labor analgesia by means of continuous epidural infusion in parturient. The main questions it aims to answer are

* Effectiveness and quality of labor analgesia
* Frequency of catheter adjustments
* Need for catheter replacements
* Incidence of failed regional anesthesia requiring conversion to general anesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Dural puncture epidural

The Dural puncture epidural technique is done by assessing the epidural space using the Touhy needle and puncturing the dura matter with a finer needle.

PROCEDURE

Standard Epidural Technique

The Standard Epidural Technique is usually performed by identifying the epidural space using the loss of resistance technique and threading the epidural catheter in the epidural space for administration of analgesic drugs.
