Lumoptik BRIGHTPOINT Reflectometer Device for Lumbar Epidural Placement

Sponsor: Hospital for Special Surgery, New York

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the BrightPoint Epidural device as the first system to use multispectral reflectometry to find the epidural space in lumbar neuraxial procedures requiring epidural needle. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the device a qualitatively effective secondary confirmation of Loss of Resistance? 2. Is the device a qualitatively effective training tool for educating trainees in how to perform lumbar epidurals? Participants will undergo a neuraxial procedure in which the attending anesthesiologist will use the BrightPoint epidural device to form an opinion on its effectiveness in confirming epidural space access.

Official title: Pilot Study for Human Clinical Trial to Evaluate the BRIGHTPOINT Reflectometer Device as Secondary Confirmation to Loss of Resistance in Lumbar Epidural Placement
