Aim: To determine the effectiveness among pendant position and traditional sitting position in term of successful spinal puncture in patients underwent caesarean deliveries. Study Design: Randomized control trial Place and Duration of Study: Department of Anaesthesia, Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital, Lahore from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021. Methodology: One hundred and eighty patients were included. Patient’s detailed demographics were recorded after taking written consent. Patients were aged between 20-50 years. Patients were equally divided into two groups, group I had 90 patients underwent pendant position and group II had 90 patients and underwent for traditional sitting. Randomly one of two positions was performed with the L3-L4 interface in spinal puncture. Time for successful spinal puncture, number of needle to bone contacts and total number of attempts were calculated. Results: Mean age of the patients in group I was 27.6±17.04 years with mean BMI 24.25±2.63 kg/m2 and in group II, mean age was 29.23±14.24 years with mean BMI 26.55±6.36 kg/m2. Mean height of patients in group I was 2.6524±1.0054 meter and in group II was 2.6516±1.0042 meter. Weight of the patients in group I 63.48±22.13 kg and in group II was 65.46±17.19 kg. Success rate after first attempt in group I was 80 (94.44%) and group II was 72 (80%). For spinal needle insertion, fewer mean times was observed in group I 19.55±11.221 sec as compared to group II 28.14±18.226 sec. Number of needle to bone contacts was higher 66.7% in group I and in group II 40%. Number of attempt was less in group I as compared to group II. Conclusion: The pendant position in the pregnant women who had a caesarean sector was much better than the standard position in order to provide the 1st attempt of spinal puncture.
