Detailed Description

Investigators evaluate the anatomic landmarks using Tuffier's line and the tenth rib line for spinal anesthesia in patients with hip fracture, and then assess the consistency of the landmarks-guided interspinous levels with the actual interspinous level using ultrasonography.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group 1
In the lateral decubitus position, an investigator evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using an anatomic landmark (Tuffier's line), and then evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using another anatomic landmark (Tenth rib line). Another investigator evaluate the actual L4-5 interspinous level by noninvasive ultrasonography.
Diagnostic test: Noninvasive ultrasound assessment
An investigator evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using anatomic landmarks in turn, then another independent investigator assess the consistency of the landmarks-guided interspinous level with the actual one by noninvasive ultrasound assessment.
Experimental: Group 2
In the lateral decubitus position, an investigator evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using an anatomic landmark (Tenth rib line), and then evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using another anatomic landmark (Tuffier's line). Another investigator evaluate the actual L4-5 interspinous level by noninvasive ultrasonography.
Diagnostic test: Noninvasive ultrasound assessment
An investigator evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using anatomic landmarks in turn, then another independent investigator assess the consistency of the landmarks-guided interspinous level with the actual one by noninvasive ultrasound assessment.
