New 3D scanner aims to make epidurals easier for obese moms in labor
NCT ID NCT03405311
Summary
This study tested whether a handheld 3D ultrasound device could help doctors place epidurals more successfully in severely obese women during labor. Researchers compared the new device to the standard 'blind' method, measuring success rates, number of needle attempts, and pain at the insertion site. The goal was to improve pain relief during childbirth for this specific group.
