Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To find the correlation between skin to epidural distance in the short-axis, median long-axis, and paramedian oblique-sagittal axis with the depth found during landmark-guided needle insertion. Timepoint: At baseline—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To find: Correlation of the needle depth with age and BMI. Derive a single formula for various thoracic and lumbar intervertebral levels for the Indian population. Procedure-related: number of attempts, change of intervertebral space, failure, dura puncture and other complications.Timepoint: At baseline—
