Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Precision of measurement of skin to posterior complex depth as compared to the depth measured using epidural depth equation.Timepoint: Outcome will be assessed at baseline—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation between actual needle insertion depth with the USG measured depth and epidural depth equation. The visibility of the neuraxial structures at the L3 L4 or L4 L5 lumbar intersapce on the four point scale to measure total ultrasound visibility score.Timepoint: Outcome will be assessed at baseline—
