简要总结

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare traditional palpation to pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound prior to epidural placement in obese (BMI >40) obstetric patient population. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is a pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound superior to traditional palpation in terms of total number of epidural needle redirections during epidural placement?
  • Is there no difference in time to epidural loss between pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound and traditional palpation during epidural placement? Participants will be randomized to either a pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound or traditional palpation at the time of epidural placement.

研究组 & 干预措施

Traditional Lumbar Palpation

No Intervention

This group will include parturients who are randomized to traditional lumbar palpation prior to epidural placement. This is the current standard of care.

Pre-procedural Lumbar Ultrasound

Experimental

This group will include parturients who are randomized to a pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound prior to epidural placement.

干预措施: Lumbar Ultrasound (Diagnostic Test)
