Actual (reported)This study explores the potential for a more rapid onset of pain relief when drug administration is performed through the epidural needle, a technique of epidural loading that provides a rapid and reliable level of labor analgesia without the disadvantages of a combined spinal-epidural, and could add a valuable new tool to anesthesiologists.
