&lt;div&gt;'''Combined spinal-epidural''' (CSE) anesthesia is a neuraxial technique that offers benefits of both spinal and epidural anesthesia and analgesia. The CSE technique involves a subarachnoid injection followed by the placement of a catheter in the epidural space for administration of epidural medications. This permits rapid-onset spinal analgesia, with access for supplementing insufficient subarachnoid anesthesia or prolonging anesthesia and analgesia via the epidural catheter&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70051351|title=Textbook of regional anesthesia and acute pain management|date=2007|publisher=McGraw-Hill, Medical Pub.

&lt;br /&gt;
===CSE vs. Epidural Anesthesia===&lt;br /&gt;
The CSE technique provides more rapid onset analgesia and establishes surgical anesthesia 15-20 minutes faster than epidural anesthesia. CSE is also associated with lower failure rates and fewer adverse events&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;. A lower incidence of accidental intravascular epidural catheters, inadequate epidural analgesia, and catheter replacements has been reported in patients who received CSE&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2018-09-20|title=Combined Spinal-Epidural Anesthesia|url=https://www.nysora.com/topics/regional-anesthesia-for-specific-surgical-procedures/abdomen/combined-spinal-epidural-anesthesia/|access-date=2022-10-01|website=NYSORA|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Higher success rates may be due to confirmation of epidural space via CSF return with spinal needle. More complete sensory blockade with improved sacral spread has also been reported with CSE, though local anesthetic flux through the dural puncture site also varies with choice of spinal needle &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
