Why the study?
Does sequential combined spinal-epidural block improve surgical analgesia or maternal/neonatal outcomes compared to spinal block in healthy parturients undergoing elective cesarean section?
Population
42 healthy parturients undergoing elective cesarean section
Comparison
Sequential combined spinal-epidural block vs Spinal block
Design
RCT, randomly divided
Follow-up
until delivery and immediate postpartum period

Requires earlier hypotension vigilance with spinal; confirms both techniques achieve comparable cesarean analgesia and neonatal outcomes.
Does sequential combined spinal-epidural block improve surgical analgesia or maternal/neonatal outcomes compared to spinal block in healthy parturients undergoing elective cesarean section?
Both spinal and sequential CSE blocks provide good surgical analgesia for cesarean section with similar neonatal outcomes, though maternal hypotension develops earlier with spinal block.
