How is an epidural placed?

Your anesthesiologist will have you sitting up or laying on your side. After cleaning your back with a cleaning solution, a small numbing shot will be injected. Following this, a longer needle will be used to place a small catheter into your back. This catheter will be taped to your back to prevent it from becoming dislodged.
