Summary
This study will test a new ultrasound device called Accuro 3S that provides live guidance during epidural or spinal needle placement. Researchers want to see if it reduces the number of needle attempts and improves accuracy compared to standard methods. The trial will enroll 50 patients who are already scheduled for a neuraxial procedure, mostly women in labor.

What this could lead to
If successful, this device could make epidurals and spinal procedures easier and more accurate, potentially reducing patient discomfort and complications.
