An imaginary line connecting both iliac crests is used to determine the vertebral level for lumbar puncture. This line crosses the spine at the level of L4or the L4-L5space. This anatomical reference can be inaccurate in a large proportion of patients. The objective of the present study was to determine whether the identification of the L3-L4space by the physical exam differs from that of the ultrasound in obese and non-obese pregnant women. |
