Determination of Utility of Intergluteal Cleft as Landmark for Neuraxial Midline in Obstetrics
Sponsor: Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust
Summary
Our aim is to investigate whether a novel landmark, the groove between the buttocks or the intergluteal cleft, can facilitate the identification of the neuraxial midline in obstetric patients when compared to ultrasound as the reference standard for the determination of this midline
