Interventions
Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.
Spinal Ultrasound
Spinal Ultrasound is performed by an observer who records ultrasound characteristics of the intervertebral space chosen by the anesthetist who will practice spinal anesthesia
Spinal Anesthesia
Spinal anesthesia is performed by an anesthetist after the observer recorded ultrasound characteristics of the intervertebral space chosen by the anesthetist, who is blinded to the ultrasound evaluation.
Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria
* ASA physical status score \< 4
Exclusion Criteria
* ASA physical status score ≥ 4
* Patient's refusal or inability to sing the informed consent
