Clinical Trial: Should Anaesthesiologists Be Taught to Perform Ultrasound-- Assisted Neuraxial Access in Spinal Anaesthesia?

U.S., Feb. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07426679) titled 'Should Anaesthesiologists Be Taught to Perform Ultrasound-- Assisted Neuraxial Access in Spinal Anaesthesia?' on Jan. 05.

Brief Summary: Neuraxial blockade is commonly performed using a manual palpation technique, but the procedure can be challenging, particularly in patients with high body mass index, pregnancy, or spinal deformities. Preprocedural ultrasound may improve identification of the optimal injection site, yet its use in clinical practice remains limited, partly due to a lack of structured training.

This multicentre randomised controlled trial investigates whether anaesthesiologists performing ultrasound-assisted spinal ...
