Midline vs. Paramedian Approaches for US-assisted Spinal Anesthesia

Midline Versus Paramedian Approaches for Ultrasound-assisted Spinal Anesthesia: a Randomized Controlled Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 112 (actual)
• Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Ultrasound has emerged as an useful tool for neuraxial blockade. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety between the midline approach and paramedian approach for ultrasound-assisted spinal anesthesia in adult patients.

Conditions

• Anesthesia, Spinal
• Ultrasonography

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	ultrasound-assisted midline approach	A preprocedural ultrasound scanning will be done, and skin marking will be made. The needle entry point and insertion angle will be determined based on ultrasound scanning. Spinal anesthesia will be performed via midline approach.
PROCEDURE	ultrasound-assisted paramedian approach	A preprocedural ultrasound scanning will be done, and skin marking will be made. The needle entry point and insertion angle will be determined based on ultrasound scanning. Spinal anesthesia will be performed via paramedian approach.
