The Use of Electrical Stimulation for Determination of Epidural Catheter Placement
Sponsor: Stanford University
Summary
The aim of this study is to address the problem of epidural failure. The investigators theorize epidural failure can be due to inappropriate catheter movement and this may be related to the length of which the epidural catheter is inserted. The investigators will use electrical stimulation to determine if the catheter moved in the sacral direction with insertion.
