Summary
This study tested whether a special ultrasound technique (M-mode) can help doctors confirm that an epidural catheter is correctly placed in women during labor. About 100 women having vaginal delivery with epidural pain relief took part. The goal was to see if ultrasound could reduce the 27-32% failure rate of epidurals by clearly showing the catheter's position.
