Keywords: Combined spinal-epidural (CSE) combines the rapidity of onset and predictability of a spinal block with the ability to modify and extend the block through an epidural.; CSE can be performed using a needle-through-needle technique or with two separate needles.; CSE has been shown to improve the quality of analgesia in labour and maternal satisfaction.; CSE has been shown to be as safe as an epidural or a spinal alone
