Summary

This study tests whether injecting a small amount of local anesthetic through the epidural needle before inserting the catheter makes placement easier and more successful. Researchers will compare this method to the standard approach in 216 women requesting painless labor. The goal is to see if the injection increases first-attempt success and reduces procedure time.
