The investigators hypothesis is that spinal tetracaine with fentanyl and epinephrine used for
CSE labor analgesia volume will last a significantly longer period of time that that of
spinal bupivacaine with fentanyl. After informed consent is obtained for the study, subjects
meeting criteria when analgesia is requested will be randomized to receive a combined
spinal-epidural containing either tetracaine 2 mg with fentanyl and epinephrine or
bupivacaine 2 mg with fentanyl and epinephrine.
