Use of blood prior to epidural??

A pregnany mother is to have a breach delivery shortly. I have been told that the gynaecologist wants to swab the area where the epidural syringe is to be inserted with some of the mother's blood. Has anyone ever heard of this procedure? What possible benefit could it have?
