Official title
Intrapartum Epidural Catheter Displacement: Comparison of Three Dressing Methods in Morbidly Obese Parturients
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Failure of labor epidural is a well-recognized situation in obstetric anesthesia practice. Incidence of epidural failure was shown to be 12% in a retrospective analysis of 19,259 deliveries. Epidural migration has been documented in both the obstetric and non-obstetric settings. It has been argued that prevention of epidural displacement is a potential remedy to at least part of the incomplete or failed epidurals in obstetrics. Purpose: The investigators propose this study to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of the three types of epidural catheter dressings that are currently in use in clinical practice, in terms of catheter migration, taking into consideration the influence of body mass index on this variable.
