Incidence of Difficult Airway and Difficult Neuraxial Placement in Obstetric Patients
NCT02193542
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
Anesthesiologists commonly administer pain relief during labor or providing anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Two main methods are used to achieve these goal: "Regional anesthesia" where the mother is given medication through a needle or catheter in her back and the mother is kept awake, or "General anesthesia", where the mother is given intravenous medication and is kept asleep. Regional anesthesia uses a needle to enter a narrow space in the mother's back where medications can be given. In some patients, it takes longer to find this target space in the back.
