Groups2

Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Ultrasonography
Preprocedural lumbar spinal ultrasonography and skin marking. Spinal anesthesia was administered with injection of intrathecal bupivacaine and intrathecal fentanyl.~Lumbar Spinal Ultrasonography: Ultrasonography of the lumbar spines using an 8-2 MHz curved array transducer. Identification of the interspace with the best image. Marking the patient's skin with horizontal and vertical lines over the L3-L4 and L2-L3 interspaces.~Spinal Anesthesia: Spinal anesthesia using a 25- or 22-gauge spinal needle~Intrathecal Bupivacaine: Bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 mL 0.5%) was administered in the subarachnoid space~Intrathecal Fentanyl: Fentanyl 15 μg was administered in the subarachnoid space
0140EG000
Group 2Palpation
Sham ultrasound procedure. Conventional landmark palpation and skin marking. Spinal anesthesia was administered with injection of intrathecal bupivacaine and intrathecal fentanyl.~Sham Ultrasound Procedure: Moving the ultrasound probe on the patient's back with the machine in the freeze position.~Conventional Landmark Palpation: Conventional palpation of the anatomical landmarks. The line crossing the iliac crests (Tuffier line) was assumed to cross the spine at L4 spinous process or L3-L4 intervertebral space. Identification of the widest interspace. Marking the patient's skin with horizontal and vertical lines over the L3-L4 and L2-L3 interspaces.~Spinal Anesthesia: Spinal anesthesia using a 25- or 22-gauge spinal needle~Intrathecal Bupivacaine: Bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 mL 0.5%) was administered in the subarachnoid space~Intrathecal Fentanyl: Fentanyl 15 μg was administered in the subarachnoid space
