There are approximately 4 million child birth deliveries in US hospitals per year, and 1.3million of those births are via cesarean section (c-section). With this type of surgery, obstetric anesthesiology plays an important role. The main objective of this study will be to determine if the dural puncture epidural (DPE) provides superior analgesia and better patient satisfaction when compared to traditional epidurals for cesarean sections, and to also determine if patient satisfaction in the DPE group is comparable to that of the CSE technique.
