Effect of epidural volume extension on dose requirement of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine at Caesarean section

The technique of epidural volume extension (EVE) involves the injection of saline into the extradural space immediately following the intrathecal injection, as part of a combined spinal-epidural (CSE) anaesthetic.
