Modified Paramedian Versus Conventional Technique in the Residency Training: An Observational Study

NCT03389672 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 518

Summary

Residency training includes positive and negative aspects. Well-trained doctors must be educated, but the process may bring additional risks to patients. Anesthesiologists' performance when conducting neuraxial anesthesia is related to their experience. We hypothesized that a modified neuraxial anesthesia method would improve both residency training and patient safety.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

spinal anesthesia

For conventional spinal anesthesia, injection site was 1 cm lateral and 1 cm caudal to the spinous process, and the needle was directed cephalad and medially to the epidural-subarachnoid space by the operator. For modified method, we reduced the distance from 1cm to 0.5cm in each directions.

PROCEDURE

epidural anesthesia

For conventional epidural anesthesia, injection site was 1 cm lateral and 1 cm caudal to the spinous process, and the needle was directed cephalad and medially to the epidural-subarachnoid space by the operator. For modified method, we reduced the distance from 1cm to 0.5cm in each directions.

PROCEDURE

combined spinal-epidural anesthesia

For conventional combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, injection site was 1 cm lateral and 1 cm caudal to the spinous process, and the needle was directed cephalad and medially to the epidural-subarachnoid space by the operator. For modified method, we reduced the distance from 1cm to 0.5cm in each directions.
