- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The outcome measures will be the precision of measurement of the skin to posterior complex depth in both the planes (UD-PSO and UD-TM) as compared to the depth measured during actual needle insertion (ND-PSO and ND-TM)The visibility of the neuraxial structures at the L3/L4 or L4/L5 lumbar interspace (whichever had the best visibility) on the four point scale to measure total ultrasound visibility scoreTimepoint: single point in time
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method accuracy of determining the insertion point as gauged by the number of reinsertions (change of puncture site) and needle redirectionsTimepoint: Single point
