Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate if the success rate of neuraxial anaesthesia is higher for patients positioned with the aid of a Mayo-trolley in sitting position when compared to patients positioned in sitting position while hugging a pillow.Timepoint: 0 hour to end of surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate if the interlaminar space while providing neuraxial anaesthesia is larger for patients positioned with the aid of a Mayo-trolley in sitting position when compared to patients positioned in sitting position while hugging a pillow.Timepoint: 0 hour to end of surgery;To evaluate if the time taken for providing neuraxial anaesthesia is shorter for patients positioned with the aid of a Mayo-trolley in sitting position when compared to patients positioned in sitting position while hugging a pillow.Timepoint: 0 hour to end of surgery;To evaluate if the patient satisfaction while providing neuraxial anaesthesia is better for patients positioned with the aid of a Mayo-trolley in sitting position when compared to patients positioned in sitting position while hugging a pillow.Timepoint: 0 hour to end of surgery;To evaluate if the anaesthetist satisfaction while providing neuraxial anaesthesia is better for patients positioned with the aid of a Mayo-trolley in sitting position when compared to patients positioned in sitting position while hugging a pillow.Timepoint: 0 hour to end of surgery
