This is a prospective experimental pilot study of full-term non-emergent obese parturients whose labor is being managed with epidural anesthesia to determine if neuraxial block placement with pre-procedure handheld ultrasound affects time to placement or number of needle passes. Approximately 25 patients, presenting for delivery at the University of Kentucky HealthCare Obstetrics Department, will be randomized to either the ultrasound or palpation group, between study approval and 31 July 2022.
