Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to compare the dural puncture epidural technique DPET with either 25-gauge spinal needle or 27-gauge spinal needle versus conventional epidural technique and evaluate whether DPET improves onset and spread of labor analgesia and if there is a role of the usage of different sized needles as regards block efficiency and complications
Detailed Description: 81 patients primigravida parturients ASA II in active labor
uncomplicated pregnancy
Cephalic presentation
Cervical dilatation 5 cm

Exclusion criteria

Allergy to local anesthetics
Bleeding disorders
Low platelet count
Local or systemic sepsis
Prior surgery in lumbosacral spine
Patients refusal

Eighty-one patients meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into three equal groups

Group CE n27 Conventional epidural Group DPE-25 n27 Dural puncture epidural with 25-gauge spinal needle Group DPE-27 n27 Dural puncture epidural with 27-gauge spinal needle

Randomization was done by computer generated numbers and concealed by serially numbered opaque and sealed envelopes The details of the series were unknown to the investigators and the group assignment was kept in a set of sealed envelopes each bearing only the case number on the outside

Full medical and surgical history were taken Laboratory investigations were revised Visual analogue scale was educated to the patient before the start of the operation

One liter of lactated Ringers solution was infused IV over 15 min during the neuraxial procedure

The procedure was performed in the seated position Parturients with VAS 5 were excluded

The procedure was performed by a senior anesthesia resident

Before administering medications through the epidural catheter subarachnoid intravascular and subdural placement had to be ruled out

After 5 min of the first initial bolus dose adequacy of analgesia was assessed

Analgesia was considered adequate if VAS score is 3 Onset of analgesia was defined as from time of first bolus dose to time of achieving VAS 3

Patient with VAS score 3 considered failed block and were excluded from the study

Analgesia was evaluated by a blinded observer assessing visual analog scale VAS pain scores onset of analgesia sensory level and motor blockade

The primary outcome was the onset of analgesia defined as duration from injection of the first initial epidural bolus to attainment of VAS 3

Other data collected are

1 Patients demographic data
2 Obstetrics data
3 Onset of analgesia attainment of VAS 3
4 HR and MABP baseline every 5 minutes until 15 mins a every 15 mins till 1 hour and then every 1 hour till delivery
5 Visual analogue scale VAS with hemodynamics
6 Assessment of sensory level after 30 mins of the block
7 Assessment of Sacral block during the 1st 30 minutes
8 Assessment of motor block through the modified bromage scale
9 Occurrence of side effects as Hypotension bradycardia nausea vomiting and pruritis PDPH nerve injury
