Ultrasound could make spinal anesthesia faster and safer

NCT ID NCT07327801

Summary

This study compared two methods for performing spinal anesthesia, a common numbing technique for lower-body surgery. Researchers tested whether using an ultrasound machine to see the spine in real-time was better than the traditional method of feeling for landmarks with fingers. They measured how long the procedure took, how many needle attempts were needed, and if there were any complications.
