Evaluation of the Typical Spinal Block During Cesarean Delivery
Sponsor: Oregon Health and Science University
Summary
This will be a prospective, observational, single-center study to evaluate the accuracy of sensory testing by blunt 16-gauge plastic cannula during the 15 minutes after spinal injection for predicting spinal failure. While previous studies assessed the minimal sensory level required for painless cesarean delivery at skin incision or delivery, no studies have assessed the accuracy of sensory testing at an earlier time point.
