Summary

This study compared a new patient positioning method, called the Imran Technique, with the standard sitting position for spinal anesthesia and lumbar puncture. 200 adults took part to see if the new approach improved first-attempt success, procedure time, and comfort. The goal was to find a better way to position patients for these common procedures.
