Comparison of Ultrasound and Anatomical Landmark Method in Spinal Anesthesia for Elective Cesarean Section in Super Obese Parturients With BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2. A Randomized Controlled Trial

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This study will investigate whether an ultrasound-assisted technique is better than a classical land-mark technique to facilitate spinal anesthesia in the sitting position in super obese pregnant women with BMI ≥ 50 who will undergo elective cesarean section. The primary objective of this study is the rate of successful dural puncture at the first attempt. It was assumed that ultrasound could facilitate neuraxial blockade in super obese (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2), pregnant women, according to the Who classification, whose topographic anatomy is difficult.
