Compares treatment options for Spinal Anesthesia
Official title Ultrasound Guided Midline vs Landmark Paramedian Continous Spinal Anesthesia in the Elderly
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06740994
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Former clinical studies have reported the superiority of the landmark guided paramedian approach above the classical landmark guided midline approach for the continuous spinal anesthesia especially in the elderly. On the other hand, more recent clinical trials have suggested that the use of ultrasound to guide spinal anesthesia will be safer and more effective than the conventional palpation-guided technique.
- This is a blinded study.
