Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim of the work:

To compare the use of the Accuro ultrasound and a real time ultrasound guided epidural combined with the acoustic puncture assisted device to perform the epidural anesthesia Secondary aim is to compare the incidence of complications associated with each technique.

Patient's selection:

This study will be performed on 100 pregnant patients scheduled for normal vaginal delivery under epidural analgesia.

The sample size was calculated by taking success rate of conventional LOR to be 98% in the patients; assuming 80% power, with 95% confidence interval (CI) of two techniques and 30% margin of error.

The study protocol will be reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of the Alexandria Main University Hospitals.

A written consent will be obtained from all the patients participating in this study.

Complete history will be taken from all the patients and will be subjected to thorough examination and routine laboratory investigations. Patients will be randomly divided into two equal groups using a computer-generated program.

Group I consists of 50 patients scheduled for epidural catheter insertion using the Accuro ultrasound imaging assisted technique.

Group II consists of 50 patients scheduled for epidural catheter insertion using the real time ultrasound guided technique combined with the use of the acoustic puncture assist device (APAD) technique.

Study Groups

Group I Accuro

epidural catheter insertion using the Accuro ultrasound imaging assisted technique

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Accuro

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A research coordinator recorded the depth of the EDS from skin, the number of attempts to perform the epidural anesthesia, the repositioning of the epidural needle either in the same space or in different space, the time taken for space localisation (it is defined as time taken in seconds from skin puncture until the successful space localisation).the total time of the procedure ( time measured from the patient is fully draped and in the proper sitting position till the end of insertion of the epidural catheter ) Any complications such as paresthesia during catheter insertion, dural puncture, blood in catheter and root irritation will be recorded

Group II APAD

epidural catheter insertion using the real time ultrasound guided technique combined with the use of the acoustic puncture assist device (APAD) technique.
