Comparing the success rate of spinal block in anesthesia residents using conventional V.S. transparent drape

Phase 2

• Conditions: Spinal block is a procedure that requires skill, especially in more difficult patients such as pregnant parturients. We hypothesize that a transparent drape will improve the success rate of spinal block in trainees compared to the conventional drape which is opaque.; Spinal block; Pregnancy; Spinal drape; Anesthesia residents training

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Success rate (percentage of success spinal block) 15 minutes after placement of spinal needle Success spinal block defined as anesthesia resident can retrieved CSF without any mentoring assistance or special equipment, 2. Spinal needle inserting of 2 or less attempt

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Attempts of needle insertion 15 minutes after placement of spinal needle Number of spinal needle puncture through skin,Attempts of needle redirection 15 minutes after placement of spinal needle Number of spinal needle withdrawal within patient soft tissue,Time of CSF retrieved 15 minutes after placement of spinal needle Counting from spinal needle insertion until first drop of CSF,Satisfaction from anesthesia residents After spinal anesthesia was done Questionaire asking the residents of the easeness after using each drape and their preference.
