Summary

This is a data base building project on the use of pre-procedure ultrasound for the performance of labor epidural pain relief and spinal anesthesia for cesarean deliveries. Data collection includes ultrasound measured depth, actual needle depth, angle of ultrasound probe, actual needle angle, success rates, patient height and weight, number of attempts needed to place the epidural needle or spinal needle. Currently we are looking at the agreement between ultrasound determined depth of the epidural space or intrathecal space with actual needle depth.
