Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Comparison of Number of needle passes needed to achieve a successful neuraxial block between Group M and Group P.Timepoint: Baseline, 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min, 5min, 6min, 7min, 8min, 9min, 10min	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Number of needle insertion attempts required to achieve a successful neuraxial block Success rate of first needle pass and first needle insertion SCAN TIME: Required for identifying landmarks through ultrasound PROCEDURE TIME: Time taken to from needle insertion to successful subaracnoid injection Image quality score Landmark palpation score Pain intensity score during the spinal procedure rated on 11 point numeric rating scale Timepoint: 0min, 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min, 5min, 6min, 7min, 8min, 9min, 10min	—
