Ultrasound training for spinal anaesthesia in leg surgery
Treatments studied
This trial looks at whether teaching anaesthesiologists to use ultrasound while placing spinal anaesthesia makes the procedure easier and safer. It includes patients having elective leg or foot surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a doctor who gives anaesthesia (anaesthesiologist).
- You will be able to do a spinal block within 2 weeks of the training.
- You are having planned surgery on your leg or foot.
- You are 18 years or older.

This trial compares three ways of giving spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in the back) for people with obesity undergoing leg or foot surgery. It tests whether using ultrasound helps make the procedure safer or more effective than the standard method.
This trial tests an ultrasound-based device that automatically marks key spots in your lower back so anesthesia can be given more accurately. It may help the anesthesia provider place the needle with better guidance during surgery.
This study tests if ultrasound-guided simulation helps anesthesia residents learn nerve blocks better. It may improve training for doctors who are new to this skill.
This trial is building a database to study ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (injecting numbing medicine around nerves using ultrasound). It may help researchers learn how to better manage pain.
This study tests a new online training module to help anesthesia residents learn how to do spinal ultrasound. If you are a junior resident with little experience in spinal ultrasound, this training could boost your skills.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (midline vs. paramedian) using ultrasound guidance in adults having orthopedic surgery. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
