Primary outcomes

  1. The Effect of Different Types of Spinal Needles Used by First-year Anesthesia Residents on Procedural Success and Click Sensation: A Prospective, Observational Study

    Time frame: Spinal anesthesia procedure time

    Clicking feeling: Considering that the click feeling due to dural puncture is taken, in which attempt (1, 2, and ≥3) the needle's guide was removed and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) arrival occurred Procedural success: Time until CSF is seen (<1.9sec, ≥2sec)

  2. The Effect of Different Types of Spinal Needles Used by First-year Anesthesia Residents on Procedural Success and Click Sensation: A Prospective, Observational Study

    Time frame: Spinal anesthesia procedure time

    Procedural success: Time until CSF is seen (<1.9sec, ≥2sec)

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Effect of Different Types of Spinal Needles Used by First-year Anesthesia Residents on Procedural Success and Click Sensation: A Prospective, Observational Study

    Time frame: Spinal anesthesia procedure time

    First-year anesthesia assistants get a click feeling with needles with different tip designs and diameters
