| Abstrakt: | With aging-associated obesity and osteoarthritis, anesthesiology trainees and their instructors face difficulties in identifying the surface anatomy and landmarks for spinal anesthesia, and successfully advancing the needle into the intrathecal space. Through a series of illustrations and instructions, this teaching tool suggests that using a spinal needle in the same way that a blind person uses a white cane may improve a trainee's ability to successfully perform a lumbar puncture. Reviewing the technique and instructions with the trainee before approaching the patient can minimize verbal instructions in the patient's presence and may lead to improved efficiency and trainee success.
