About this study
This trial is testing whether an electrical stimulation test (EST) can be used to confirm the placement of epidural catheters during labor. The goal is to determine if EST can reliably verify catheter placement, which is currently done by needle-through-needle techniques without confirming placement first.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
