Determination of Utility of Intergluteal Cleft as Landmark for Neuraxial Midline in Obstetrics

NCT05983029 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 99

Last updated 2024-02-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Our aim is to investigate whether a novel landmark, the groove between the buttocks or the intergluteal cleft, can facilitate the identification of the neuraxial midline in obstetric patients when compared to ultrasound as the reference standard for the determination of this midline

Conditions

  • Obstetric Anesthesia Problems

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Intergluteal Cleft

Marking of intersection between inferior aspect of the intergluteal cleft and the horizontal intercristal line

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Neuraxial Midline

Marking of intersection between the neuraxial midline, as established with the transverse spinous process view on ultrasound, and the horizontal intercristal line

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Horizontal Distance between Vertical Markings

The horizontal distance between these two vertical marks will be measured at the level of the intercristal line
