No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of the sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) as a potential predictor of the skin to epidural space distance (SESD) and to compare its accuracy versus that of the BMI as a previously validated predictor

Conditions

  • Obesity
  • Epidural; Anesthesia, Headache

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Epidural block

Epidural catheter will be inserted at the L3-L4 or L4-L5 interspace in obese subjects scheduled for surgery on the lower extremities under epidural anesthesia. The sagittal abdominal diameter, BMI and skin to epidural space distance will be recorded.
