Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be investigated whether an ultrasound-assisted technique is better than a classical land-mark technique to facilitate spinal anesthesia in the lateral position in morbidly obese pregnant women with BMI ≥ 40 who will undergo elective cesarean section. The primary objective in this study is the rate of successful dural puncture at the first attempt. It was assumed that ultrasound could facilitate neuraxial blockade in grade 3 morbidly obese pregnant women according to the Who classification, whose topographic anatomy is difficult.


Description:

Spinal anesthesia is the most commonly used anesthesia method for elective cesarean deliveries. Anesthesiologists may have difficulties in determining the poorly palpable surface landmarks in morbidly obese pregnant women. Manual palpation technique, which is preferred in neuraxial anesthesia, may be difficult in obese pregnant women due to the difficulty in identifying bone landmarks. Neuraxial ultrasound examination before spinal anesthesia may help spinal anesthesia performance and decrease number of attempts in obese parturients. This study will be conducted as a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial in a university hospital. Patients scheduled for elective cesarean will be screened for enrollment in the study. Patient, the anesthetist administering spinal anesthesia and evaluating the data were blind to the distribution of patient groups.Ultrasonographic examinations were performed by a single investigator trained in this technique who performed more than 150 ultrasound-guided neuraxial blocks.

Intervention

Procedure:
Ultrasound group
In the operating room, all of the patients will receive standard monitoring. Scans will be made in logiditunal parasagittal and transverse midline views with ultrasound. Needle entry sites in the L2-L3 and L3-L4 intervals will be determined as the intersection of the longiditunal and transverse lines. When the spinal puncture operator is outside the room, Needle entry sites were marked for both groups.After skin marking, the pregnant woman will be asked to remain still and a subarachnoid puncture will be performed immediately. Spinal anesthesia will be administered with injection of intrathecal bupivacaine.
Landmark group
In the Landmark group, the injection site will be determined using the traditional method of palpating the posterior superior iliac spine.When the spinal puncture operator is outside the room, Needle entry sites were marked for both groups.After skin marking, the pregnant woman will be asked to remain still and a subarachnoid puncture will be performed immediately. Spinal anesthesia will be administered with injection of intrathecal bupivacaine.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The success rate of first puncture Success on a single-puncture attempt will be defined as reaching the subarachnoid space on the first insertion of the needle. 30 minute
Secondary Number of skin punctures Skin puncture is defined as any separate skin puncture attempt. 30 minute
Secondary Number of needle pass Needle pass is defined as skin puncture plus number of redirection attempts 30 minute
Secondary The procedure duration time The duration from initiation of location marking by palpation or ultrasound to obtaining free cerebrospinal fluid flow 30 minute
Secondary Time interval to determine needle insertion site Time interval between the operator touches the parturient and the completion of the needle insertion point marking 30 minute
Secondary Time taken for spinal injection The time interval between the needle insertion to visualization of cerebrospinal spinal fluid in the spinal needle. 30 minute
Secondary Number of puncture levels Move to a second lumbar space after 3 needle insertion attempts 30 minute
Secondary Patient satisfaction The procedure duration Patients rated their satisfaction as very satisfied, satisfied, or dissatisfied immediately after the procedure. 30 minute
Secondary incidence of complications during puncture Incidence of radicular pain, paresthesia, and blood during spinal needle injection 30 minute
Secondary incidence of postoperative headache 12-72 hours following spinal anesthesia due to CSF leakage 72 hour
Secondary Incidence of hypotension A systolic arterial pressure decrease of more than 25% from baseline or less than 90 mmHg 2 hour
Secondary Failure rate of spinal anesthesia Number of parturients who need additional analgesic drug or conversion to general anesthesia 120 minute
Secondary dermatome level of sensory block [ Time Frame: 10 minutes after spinal anesthetic injection ] thoracic dermatome level of sensory block assessed by pinprick test 20 minute
