Why the study?
Does the Combined Spinal-Epidural (CSE) technique reduce time of initiation of subarachnoid anesthesia in morbidly obese parturients undergoing cesarean delivery?
Does the Combined Spinal-Epidural (CSE) technique reduce time of initiation of subarachnoid anesthesia in morbidly obese parturients undergoing cesarean delivery?
In morbidly obese parturients undergoing cesarean delivery, the CSE technique is noninferior to the SSS technique for time of initiation and requires fewer attempts.

CSE noninferior with fewer attempts in obese parturients; extends neuraxial options for cesarean anesthesia.
Our results suggest that the CSE technique is noninferior to the SS technique in morbidly obese parturients for time of initiation of subarachnoid anesthesia and may be accomplished with fewer attempts than the SSS technique with experienced residents.
