About this trial
This is a prospective observational study that will survey patients who had an indwelling labor epidural catheter and subsequently underwent cesarean delivery. We hypothesize that patients who had removal of indwelling labor epidural catheters and had a new neuraxial anesthetic technique attempted will have a lower incidence of self-reported pain during cesarean delivery compared to patients who had top up of their indwelling labor epidural catheters.
