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

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Conventional Landmark Technique: The investigator will perform spinal anesthesia using the conventional landmark technique.

Ultrasound Assisted Technique: The investigator will perform spinal anesthesia using the ultrasound assisted technique.

Real-Time Ultrasound Guided Technique: The investigator will perform spinal anesthesia using the real-time ultrasound-guided technique.

Study 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.
