In this episode, Dr. B Amnon Berger shared the results of his study – Epidural catheter replacement rates with dural puncture epidural labor analgesia compared with epidural analgesia without dural puncture: a retrospective cohort study. Besides, we discussed the benefits of a dural puncture epidural technique and how it differs from the combined spinal-epidural technique.
