Evaluation of Success in Neuraxial Block Placement Between Using Palpation of Landmark Versus Pocket-Size Handheld Ultrasound (U/S) Method
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Rivanna Accuro US Device, Palpation, and 2 other interventions for Analgesia. Completed, enrolled 128 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We hypothesize that the Rivanna Accuro or similar U/S device would reduce time to success of identifying epidural and/or intrathecal spaces as compared to conventional palpation method.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
When the subject is ready for neuraxial procedure, the location for the epidural or spinal needle insertion will be identified with Rivanna Accuro U/S device. For subjects in group C-R or L-R, the needle insertion site will be the site identified by the Rivanna Accuro U/S device. After placement of spinal for Cesarean or epidural for labor, the usual standard dose of medication will be administered as in usual manner for patients regardless in this study or not.
When the subject is ready for neuraxial procedure, the location for the epidural or spinal needle insertion will be identified with Palpation method using conventional landmarks (spinous process and iliac crest). For subjects in group C-P or L-P, the needle insertion site will be the site identified by the Palpation method. After placement of spinal for Cesarean or epidural for labor, the usual standard dose of medication will be administered as in usual manner for patients regardless in this study or not.
Labor analgesia will be provided utilizing the standard medications to provide labor analgesia
Spinal anesthetic medications will be utilized in providing surgical block for cesarean delivery as is standard of care
