Summary

This quasi-experimental prospective clinical trial was conducted to compare the conventional sitting position with the Imran Technique, a novel ergonomic patient-positioning method, for spinal anesthesia and lumbar puncture. A total of 200 adult participants requiring spinal anesthesia for surgical procedures or diagnostic lumbar puncture were allocated into two groups. The study aimed to evaluate procedural success, procedural efficiency, patient comfort, operator ergonomics, and procedure-related complications associated with the two positioning techniques.
