PART II – THE PROTOCOL

1 INTRODUCTION

Spinal anaesthesia is one of the commonest procedures performed, and one of the

first skills to be acquired by an anaesthesiologist. It requires considerable skill, and

demands a precise and total understanding of regional anatomic relationships1.

Acquiring adequate knowledge of the anatomy and orientation of central neuraxis,

for performance of a successful block, is still largely based on the “blind” landmark

based procedure. Radiological examination and simulation based training techniques

have been employed successfully, to better aid the teaching process2.

In recent times, Ultrasonography has shed light in various aspects in clinical

anaesthesia, and has proven to be a useful tool for point of care procedures.

Pertaining to central neuraxial blockade, USG guided procedures have been proven

to identify and navigate the difficult anatomy3, but because the procedure is time

taking and there pose some difficulty in obtaining clear images, it is not routinely

used in clinical practise4. However in a setting where practise makes perfect, to

include its application as a teaching tool for the normal anatomy, may prove to

improve the technique of lumbar puncture for spinal anaesthesia in normal as well as

difficult anatomy, thereby reducing the distress experienced by the patient with

multiple attempts at spinal anaesthesia, also reducing incidence of associated

complications (e.g hematoma, post dural puncture headache)5. This study is

designed to evaluate if a preprocedural ultrasonographic examination of the lumbar

spine, improves the performance of lumbar puncture for spinal anaesthesia.

2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

Aim

To evaluate the efficacy of Pre-procedural Ultrasound of Lumbar spine in improving

the procedural skill of Subarachnoid block.

Objectives:

1. Incidence of Procedural success within first needle pass

2. Number of needle passes to achieve successful procedure

3. Number of attempts

4. Time taken for performance of procedure

5. Incidence of procedural failure

3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

1. Levy JH et al conducted a retrospective study of the incidence and causes of

failed spinal anesthetics in a university hospital. One hundred sequential spinal

anesthetic procedures were reviewed retrospectively to study specifically the

incidence and causes of failed spinal anesthesia. Variables examined included the

patient population, the technical aspects of performing subarachnoid tap and

subsequent blockade, and the level of training of the anesthetists. They found a

17% incidence of spinal failure, defined as the need to use general anesthesia

during the surgical procedure. Failure was found to be significantly associated

with a lack of free flow of cerebral spinal fluid, the use of tetracaine without

epinephrine, and an increased administration of intravenous supplementation.

Forty-one% of the failures represented errors in judgement, either in not properly

anticipating the duration of surgery or injecting local anesthetic solution in the

absence of a free flow of cerebral spinal fluid. An incidental finding was the lack

of documentation in many of the variables examined. They attributed the high

incidence of failed spinal anesthesia mainly to technical reasons, most of them

avoidable. The use of local and regional anesthesia requires considerable

technical skills and demands a precise and total understanding of regional

5

anatomic relationships. They concluded that spinal and epidural anesthesia,

continue to be utilized widely; and even though these techniques, safe as they are,

are being poorly taught.

2. Udani DA et al evaluated a simulation-based mastery learning with deliberate

practice to improve the clinical performance in spinal anesthesia. 21 anesthesia

residents were enrolled. After baseline assessment of SAB on a task-trainer, all

residents participated in a base curriculum. Residents were then randomized so

that half received additional deliberate practice including repetition and expert-

guided, real-time feedback. All residents were then retested for technique. SABs

on all residents’ next three patients were evaluated in the operating room (OR).

Before completing the base curriculum, the control group completed 81% of a

16-item performance checklist on the task-trainer and this increased to 91% after

finishing the base curriculum (<0.02). The intervention group also increased the

percentage of checklist tasks properly completed from 73% to 98%, which was a

greater increase than observed in the control group (< 0.03). The OR time

required to perform SAB was not different between groups. In conclusions

thebase curriculum significantly improved resident SAB performance, Deliberate

practice training added a significant, independent, incremental benefit. The

clinical impact of the deliberate practice intervention in the OR on patient care is

unclear.

3. Weed JT et al evaluated the use of pre-procedure ultrasound examination as a

screening tool for difficult spinal anaesthesia. They performed a pre-procedure

ultrasound examination of the spine on 60 patients undergoing lower extremity

orthopaedic surgery under spinal anaesthesia. They hypothesised that the

inability to identify the posterior longitudinal ligament or vertebral body easily

with ultrasound would be associated with difficulty placing a spinal anaesthetic.

Clinicians blinded to the ultrasound scan performed the injections using the

traditional landmark technique. The spinal procedure was videotaped and

subsequently reviewed by independent investigators. They defined procedure

difficulty by total procedure time (> 400 s) and number of needle passes (10)

required to achieve return of cerebrospinal fluid, or abandonment of the

procedure due to unsuccessful dural puncture. When images of the posterior

longitudinal ligament were poor (low score group), the mean (SD) number of

6

passes was 21.2 (30.6), compared with 4.8 (7.5) with good ultrasound images

(high score group) (p < 0.01). The mean (SD) time for placement was 420 (300) s

in the low score group vs 176 (176) s in the high score group (p < 0.01). In

conclusion, the data not only support the existing evidence that ultrasound

imaging of the PLL is a reliable indicator for an open window to the intrathecal

space, it also emphasises the potential role that ultrasound can play in the

decision-making process. Ultrasound may allow us to predict which patients are

at risk for a prolonged procedure involving multiple needle passes. Even more

convincing is its ability to predict when the procedure will be easy. While

certainly helpful to clinicians, this strategy could also empower patients who are

weighing the risks and benefits of their anaesthetic options. Patients ambivalent

regarding a spinal anaesthetic may opt for general anaesthesia if ultrasound

examination is discouraging. Alternatively, these patients could be reassured

with favourable ultrasound findings. They concluded that whether it is used to

facilitate such a dialogue or simply to identify an optimal insertion site,

ultrasound represents an additional technology at the anesthesiologist’s disposal.

4. Chin KJ et al published Ultrasonography of the adult thoracic and lumbar spine

for central neuraxial blockade, in Anesthesiology 2011. Ultrasound guidance has

revolutionized regional anesthesia, but its application in neuraxial blockade has

not yet enjoyed the popularity, even though spinal and epidural anesthesia are the

most widely used regional anesthetic techniques. This can be attributed both to

the efficacy of the traditional landmark-guided technique of neuraxial blockade

and to the limitations of ultrasonography of the adult spine. Ultrasonographic

visualization of structures encased within the bony vertebrae in adults is possible

only through the interlaminar spaces between adjacent vertebrae. However, this

is also the basis for the utility of ultrasound in neuraxial blockade: if an

interlaminar window that permits passage of sound waves into the vertebral canal

can be identified, the same window will permit passage of a needle into the

epidural or intrathecal space.In addition, ultrasound aids in identification of

intervertebral levels, estimation of the depth to epidural and intrathecal spaces,

and location of important landmarks, including the midline and interlaminar

spaces. This can facilitate neuraxial blockade, particularly in patients with

difficult surface anatomic landmarks. In this review article, the authors

7

summarize the current literature, describe the key ultrasonographic views, and

propose a systematic approach to ultrasound imaging for the performance of

spinal and epidural anesthesia in the adult patient.

5. Srinivasan K et al evaluated conventional landmark-guided midline versus

preprocedure ultrasound-guided paramedian techniques for spinal anesthesia.

One hundred consenting patients scheduled for elective total joint replacements

(hip and knee) were randomized into group C (conventional) and group P

(preprocedural ultrasound-guided paramedian technique) with 50 in each group.

The patients were blinded to the study group. In group C, spinal anesthetic was

done via the midline approach using clinically palpated landmarks. In group P, a

preprocedural ultrasound scan was used to mark the paramedian insertion site,

and spinal anesthetic was performed via the paramedian approach. The average

number of passes in group P was approximately 0.34 times that in group C, a

difference that was statistically significant (P = 0.01). Similarly, the average

number of attempts in group P was approximately 0.25 times that of group C (P =

0.0021). In group P, on an average, it took 81.5 (99% confidence interval, 68.4–

97 seconds) seconds longer to identify the landmarks than in group C (P =

0.0002). All other parameters, including grading of palpated landmarks, time

taken for spinal anesthetic injection, periprocedural pain scores, periprocedural

patient discomfort visual analog scale score, conversion to general anesthetic,

paresthesia, and radicular pain during needle insertion, were similar between the

2 groups. They concluded that routine use of paramedian spinal anesthesia in the

orthopedic patient population undergoing joint replacement surgery, guided by

preprocedure ultrasound examination, significantly decreases the number of

passes and attempts needed to enter the subarachnoid space.

Levy et al reported a failure rate for landmark based spinal anaesthesia to be 17%.

To reduce this incidence to 4%, with alpha of 0.05 and beta 80%, we calculated

sample size, using formula given below, to be 87 per group.

Considering drop out we took sample size to be 100 patients.

10

5.5 METHODOLOGY / PROCEDURES:

After obtaining ethical committee approval and informed consent, 200 patients

satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited for the study by

continuous sampling.

The anaesthesiologists performing the subarachnoid blocks will receive a teaching

module of spine anatomy and ultrasonography of central neuraxis along with

phantom training prior to performing the procedures.

After under going preoperative evaluation, the patients will receive premedication as

per institute protocol on the night before and day of surgery. On the day of surgery

the patients will be shifted to the pre anaesthetic procedure room.

In the procedure room, after connecting the standard monitors (electrocardiogram,

pulsoximetry and non invasive blood pressure monitor), appropriate IV acsess with

an 18G venous cannula will be secured. After patient placed in right or left lateral

position, the patients will be randomised by sealed envelope technique to be in either

Group LM or Group US.

In Group LM, the performer of the subarachnoid block will identify and mark the

L2,3 and 4 spinous procesess, the widest interspinous space, with a marker on the

skin, by traditional palpatory landmark based technique.

In Group US, the performer will perform a preprocedural scan of the lumbar spine,

by using Sonosite X porte (Sonosite, Bothwell, WA, USA) ultrasound system with

multibeam capability(compound imaging), low frequency curvilinear probe C60 (2-

5Hz). A median sagittal view (midline) of the neuraxis will be obtained and the

sacrum identified, and then on scanning cephalad, the L5 – S1 space will be noted.

Subsequent interspinous spaces will be identified counted and marked. A transverse

spinous process view will be used to identify the spinous procesess. The

11

interspinous space at the which the clearest image of the posterior complex

(ligamentum flavum and posterior dura)and anterior complex (anterior dura and

vertebral body)is obtained and marked. Also the depth to the posterior complex is

approximated, and the angle at which probe is tilted is also noted.

From the procedure room, the patients in both the groups will be transferred to the

concerned OT, and the subarachnoid block will be perfomed as per institute

departmental protocol after following a preprocedural checklist, by the

anaesthesiologist who has identified the landmarks in the procedure room.

The performance of the subarachnoid block will be assessed by the consultant

anaesthesiologist who was not present in the procedure room, and so is blinded to

whether the performer has done a pre procedural USG scan. The OT consultant will

assess the procedure by noting

1. Noting the procedural success in first needle pass – Acheivement of CSF in

first pass of needle

2. The number of needle passes - defined as the number of forward

advancements of the spinal needle in a given interspinous space, i.e.,

withdrawal and redirection of spinal needle without exiting the skin

3. The number of attempts - defined as the number of times the spinal needle is

withdrawn from the skin and reinserted

4. The time taken to detect CSF – time from first needle insertion till CSF

detection.

A maximum of 3 attempts will be allowed for the performer. After 3 attempts, it will

be considered as a procedural failure, following which the Senior anaesthesiologist

will intervene.

12

After obtaining approval from ethical Committee

o 200 patients will be recruited by continuous sampling after satisfying criteria for

selection. Informed consent will be obtained.

o All performers of the SAB, will be given a teaching module on anatomy of spine, lumbar anatomy and basics of spine scan .
