Summary
This study tests whether a line drawn between the hip bones (ASIS line) is more reliable than the usual method (Tuffier's line) for finding the correct spot on the lower back for spinal anesthesia. Researchers will use ultrasound to check the exact spine level in 140 adults. The goal is to see which method gives more consistent results, which could help make spinal anesthesia safer and more effective.
