What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: 15 minutes
15 minutes
Quality of positioning for spinal anesthesia after 15 minutes of either intervention
Time Frame: 15 minutes

Scale of 0-3 for hip flexion while sitting after either intervention 0=not satisfactory (poor hip flexion)

  1. satisfactory (slight hip flexion)
  2. good (adequate hip flexion)
  3. optimal (excellent hip flexion)
15 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
