An observational study in Satisfaction and Pain, sponsored by Prof. Dr. med. Daniel Reuter. Completed at 1 site in Germany. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-10-23.

Combined spinal epidural (CSEA) and single shot spinal anesthesia (SSSA) are both well-established anesthetic methods for caesarean section. CSEA combines the advantages of spinal anesthesia for the surgery, and epidural anesthesia for postoperative pain management. The aim of this randomized trial was to compare analgesia and patient satisfaction with CSEA continuous epidural administration of local anesthetics versus SSSA with oral pain medication in the postoperative period.
Combined spinal epidural (CSEA) and single shot spinal anesthesia (SSSA) are both well-established anesthetic methods for caesarean section. CSEA combines the advantages of spinal anesthesia for the surgery, and epidural anesthesia for postoperative pain management. However, it is more time-consuming, and adds potentially risks of both single techniques.

This is the only study on the registry with Prof. Dr. med. Daniel Reuter as lead sponsor.
