First seen Feb 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looked at whether using a 3D ultrasound device (Accuro) helps place epidurals for pain relief during labor in women with severe obesity (BMI 40 or higher). The goal was to see if it reduces the number of needle sticks and improves success compared to the standard blind method. The study was stopped early, but results could help guide future pain management in this high-risk group.
