Combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia is a regional anaesthetic technique that merges spinal anaesthesia with epidural anaesthesia and analgesia in a single procedure. The spinal component produces a rapid, predictable block, while an indwelling epidural catheter allows longer lasting pain relief with the dose adjusted to the patient needs.
