AB  - In  recent  years,  regional  anesthesia  techniques  for  surgery,  obstetrics,  and  postoperative  pain  management  have  been  used  with  increasing  frequency.1–3  The  combined  spinal–epidural  (CSE)  technique,  a  comparatively  new  anesthetic  technique,  includes  an  initial  subarachnoid  injection  followed  by  epidural  catheter  placement  and  administration  of  epidural  medications.  This  allows  for  almost  immediate  relief  of  pain  or  induction  of  regional  anesthesia  by  the  rapid  onset  of  the  spinal  drugs,  and  subsequent  administration  of  medications  for  prolonged  anesthesia.  In  addition  postoperative  analgesia  via  the  epidural  catheter  can  be  delivered  for  extended  periods.
