Ultrasound Versus Palpation for Epidural Catheterization

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will assess the benefit of using spinal ultrasound before epidural catheter insertion compared to the conventional palpation technique in women undergoing cesarean section.

Clinical Trial Description

The study will compare the ultrasound-assisted and the conventional palpation techniques for epidural catheterization as a component of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for cesarean section.

Participants will be randomly assigned into 2 equal groups. In the ultrasound group: Preprocedure lumbar spinal ultrasound will be performed before epidural catheterization. In the palpation group: Conventional technique of landmark palpation will be used. ;
