Effect of Epidural Needle Injection on Catheter Placement Success During Painless Labour

NCT07327918 PHASE3 NOT_YET_RECRUITING

Epidural analgesia is the gold standard for painless labour, but successful catheter placement can be technically challenging due to anatomical and physiological changes in pregnancy. Injecting saline or local anesthetic through the epidural needle before catheter insertion has been proposed to facilitate catheter advancement by dilating the epidural space. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of epidural needle injection on the success rate and ease of catheter placement during labour analgesia.
