Study Summary
Ultrasound is widely in uses for vascular, nerve block and sometimes neuraxial block. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of a handheld ultrasound device on the time to complete labor epidural placement and success rate of epidural analgesia in parturients with a wide range of body mass indexes (BMIs). A handheld ultrasound device (Accuro, Rhivanna Medical, Charlottesville, VA) may eliminate the time for equipment setup due to its portability and instant power-up. In addition, it provides a simulated diagram to aid in identifying bone and lumbar spaces. These unique features may be helpful in laboring women with a particular BMI range. We aim to define the usefulness of guidance with a handheld ultrasound in completing labor epidural analgesia in various BMIs. The primary outcome: The time needed to complete epidural placements. Secondary outcomes: * The number of needle insertion attempts, * The rate of success measured by the need to replacements during the labor course for vaginal or cesarean delivery.
Interventions
- OTHER Ultrasound image guidance
- OTHER Landmark palpation
