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 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 trial tests three ways of giving spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in the back) to people with obesity having leg or foot surgery. It aims to find which method works best and is safest for this group.
This study tests a new way to teach residents how to do nerve blocks using ultrasound instead of practicing on patients. It might help you learn these skills in a safe, no-risk environment.
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 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.
This study teaches junior doctors in emergency medicine how to use ultrasound to safely perform nerve blocks—a pain-relief technique. Researchers will compare learning with a low-cost practice model to see if it works as well as expensive alternatives.
