Dural puncture epidural

Dural puncture epidural

In this episode, Dr. Lawrence Tsen discusses the findings of his paper on Labor Analgesia Initiation with Dural Puncture Epidural (DPE) Versus Conventional Epidural Techniques. The paper presents a randomized biased-coin sequential allocation trial to determine the effective dose for 90% of patients of Bupivacaine. We explore the benefits of using the DPE technique, if any, along with criticisms from some experts. Additionally, we delve into whether DPE techniques can improve analgesia and the mechanisms behind it. These are just a few of the topics covered in this podcast.
