Comparison of ultrasound-guided and traditional localisation in intraspinal anesthesia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The optimal puncture technique for neuraxial anaesthesia in different populations is unclear. We sought to obtain data from randomised controlled trials comparing the impact of ultrasound-guided technology and traditional positioning technology on the success rate of neuraxial anaesthesia.

Design

Systematic review and network meta-analysis using study populations, interventions, intervention comparisons, outcome measures and study types.

Data sources

PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of science were searched until 31 September 2022.

Eligibility criteria

We included randomised controlled trials comparing three types of neuraxial anaesthesia: ultrasound-assisted, ultrasound real-time guidance and conventional positioning to describe which neurax
