No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Spinal anesthesia in obese parturients is commonly difficult yet there are no guidelines to direct best practice. The failure leads to suboptimal patient outcomes.

Ultrasonography is now considered standard care for central venous access and regional anesthesia and it can be used to visualize the anatomy of the spine for this procedure.

Goal of the study

Evaluate the benefits of preprocedural ultrasound scanning to facilitate neuraxial anesthesia and improve the first-attempt success rate in obese parturients.
