Background and Aims: The success of labour analgesia is significantly influenced by the patient's position during the insertion of the epidural catheter. In this study, we contrasted how simple it was to implant the epidural catheter in the crossed-legged sitting position (CLP) against the traditional sitting position (TSP) (CLSP). The main goal was to compare how many of the groups' initial epidural placement attempts were successful. The patient's comfort, the simplicity of landmark palpation, and the quantity of needle-to-bone contacts were secondary goals
