Study Summary
This study is intended to determine whether ultrasound imaging can improve the ability to place a spinal or epidural needle in obstetric anesthesia. By evaluating the use of ultrasound for the placement of epidural catheters the investigators hope to answer two questions: 1\. How does the traditional technique based on palpation compare to one using ultrasound to place an epidural catheter? 2. Does ultrasound reduce one potential risk in epidural placement?
Primary Outcome
Percentage of participants with catheters placed below the L3 Vertebra
Interventions
- DEVICE ultrasound guidance
- DEVICE palpation guidance
