U.S., April 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07549776) titled 'Ultrasound-guided Versus Landmark-based Spinal Anesthesia in Obese Parturients Undergoing Cesarean Section' on April 09.
Brief Summary: Spinal anesthesia is the most commonly used technique for cesarean section. However, in obese parturients, identification of the optimal puncture site using anatomical landmark palpation can be challenging due to altered anatomy. Ultrasound has been proposed as a tool to improve localization of the puncture site.
This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial including 100 obese parturients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Participants are randomly assigned to one of t...
