Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Successful catheter placement in epidural space is primary outcome confirmed by below mentioned tests 1:Epidural pressure waveform confirmation for proper catheter placement has 100% specificity and positive predictive value and sensitivity of 80%. 2:clinical confirmations using segmental field block by injecting local anesthetic through catheter and assessment using pin prick method after 5 minutes.Timepoint: not applicable—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Less discomfort to patient while giving position during procedure and lesser expected complicationsTimepoint: not applicable—
