Comparison of the Efficacy of Conventional Landmark, Ultrasound-Assisted, and Real-Time Ultrasound-Guided Techniques in Spinal Anesthesia for Obese Patients

Sponsor: Uludag University

Summary

Spinal anesthesia is frequently administered using the conventional landmark technique. Ultrasound is a non-invasive and safe approach. Neuroaxial anesthesia procedures can be conducted using two different ultrasound techniques; Real-Time Ultrasound Guided (USRTG) and Ultrasound-Assisted (USAS). The primary objective of this study is to compare the successes of spinal anesthesia applications using USRTG, USAS, and conventional landmark techniques on the first attempt in obese patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.
