Study Summary
Test the safety and effectiveness of training medical officers in the provision of spinal anesthesia in a rural hospital context using a non-inferiority randomized trial. The safety and effectiveness of the MOs will be evaluated through a non-inferiority trial in which patients are randomized to care by a trained MO or an anesthesiologist. The primary outcomes are safety (adherence to adapted anesthesia safety checklist- see supporting documents "Adapted Anesthesia Safety Checklist") and effectiveness (adequate analgesia) of spinal anesthesia.
Primary Outcome
Delivery of spinal anaesthesia into the intrathecal space with three or less attempts and no intra-operative conversion to general anaesthesia due to spinal failure
Interventions
- OTHER delivery of the spinal anesthetic by a trained medical officer
- OTHER delivery of spinal anesthetic by a consultant anesthetist
