What is an epidural/spinal combination?

Epidural/Spinal Combination

Epidural-spinal combinations are usually used with cesareans. They are a combination of the epidural with the spinal narcotics - all injected into the lower back. This type of pain relief is quicker acting. The side effects vary - as with a spinal - a headache is a possibility as well as nausea.
