Official title
A Novel Method of Improving Accuracy of Anatomical Landmarks for Neuraxial Blocks in Pregnancy: The Sacral Anatomical Interspace Landmark (SAIL) Technique
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the accuracy of the novel SAIL technique compared to the classic intercristal line technique in estimating the L4-L5 interspace for labor epidural or spinal anesthesia placement. The investigators hypothesize that the SAIL technique will be more accurate in successfully locating the L4-L5 interspace in pregnant women than the classic intercristal line technique.
