Summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of real-time ultrasound guidance (US-RTG) versus static ultrasound-assisted mapping (US-AS) for combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) via the paramedian approach in elderly patients aged 60 years and older undergoing orthopedic surgery.

Conditions

  • Ultrasound Therapy; Complications

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-assisted localization, US-AS

In the US-AS group, ultrasonic prescan to determine the best intervertebral space, best puncture Angle and best puncture depth. The optimal puncture section considered by the operator was selected to record the best gap, puncture Angle and depth.

PROCEDURE

Real-time ultrasound guidance, US-RTG

In the US-RTG group, the optimal puncture section considered by the operator was selected and recorded directly in the plane of the paracentral transverse section, out of the plane of the paracentral sagittal section or in the plane of the paracentral sagittal section for real-time ultrasound guided lumbar epidural anesthesia.
