Comparison of Two Anatomic Landmarks With Ultrasonography in Spinal Anesthesia

August 4, 2015 updated by: İBRAHİM ÖZTÜRK, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital

Phase IV Study of Landmarks for Spinal Anesthesia

The most used anatomical landmark for application of spinal anesthesia is Tuffier's line. Other alternative landmark is tenth rib. However there is no trial that compare these landmarks based on using ultrasonography.

Detailed Description

The investigators aim to compare two landmarks (Tuffier's line and tenth rib line) for accuracy by using ultrasonography. 40 patients will be included in each groups. all of them will be assessed by ultrasonography during application of spinal anesthesia. And the investigators will examine the percentage of successful estimation of correct vertebral space.

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: spinal anesthesia for knee arthroscopy
The intervention is spinal anesthesia. Tenth rib line or Tuffier's line will be examined as application landmarks by ultrasonography for spinal anesthesia.
Device: ultrasonography
spinal anesthesia guided with ultrasonography

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
success of estimation the correct vertebral space
Time Frame: 2 months
Independently, first anesthesist will determine the spinal anesthesia application point (intervertebral space) according to Tuffier's line and second anesthesist will determine it by ultrasonography. And third anesthesist will compare the accuracy of first determination.
