Summary

To investigate if sitting in flexed cross legged position for neuraxial techniques in term pregnant patients widens the size of the ultrasound acoustic window as measured by the visualized posterior longitudinal ligament length, during lumbar spine ultrasonography using longitudinal paramedian view, in comparison to the standard sitting flexed position.
