Data recorded were the number of attempt for the successful spinal puncture, the number of spinal needle-bone contact and blood vessel puncture incidence. Data was analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Scientist (SPSS), for numerical data using unpaired T-test or Mann-Whitney-U test, for categorical data using Chi-square test or Fischer Exact's Test. Data normality was tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Significant value is p\<0.05.
