Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

In pregnancy, due to increase in intra-abdominal pressure, subarachnoid space volume decreases thereby increasing the effect of local anaesthesia. Thus we hypothesise that expanding the volume of epidural space with normal saline will result in a similar scenario resulting in the decreased requirement of local anaesthesia.
