No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the paramedian approach for spinal anesthesia using ultrasound assistance (USAS) versus conventional palpation in morbidly obese patients undergoing elective surgeries.

Conditions

  • Spinal Anesthesia
  • Ultrasound Assistance
  • Obesity, Morbid

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Paramedian conventional palpation group

Patients in this group underwent conventional landmark guided paramedian spinal anesthetic. The spinal anesthesia will be administered based on conventional landmark-based paramedian approach.

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound assistance paramedian spinal group

This group will have their spinal anesthetic done based on ultrasound assistance paramedian spinal. Spinal anesthesia with a paramedian approach was performed based on the optimum puncture point, suggested puncture angles, and puncture depth. The suggested puncture angles included the cephalad angle measured by the built-in angle program of the ultrasound and the medial angle measured by a 180° protractor (Deli). The puncture depth, the distance from the skin to the posterior complex, was measured utilizing the ultrasound clipper tool.
