New tool tested to make C-Section anesthesia checks safer and greener

NCT ID NCT06596486

Summary

This study compared two tools doctors use to check if a patient is numb enough before a planned C-section. Researchers tested a reusable metal CoolStick against the standard ethyl chloride spray on 64 patients. The goal was to see if the CoolStick works just as well for checking numbness to light touch and cold, while being more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
