Response - NO
Brief Summary  

Spinal anesthesia is relatively more difficult in both elderly patients and those with abnormal anatomical landmarks. The preprocedural ultrasound increases the rate of successful access to subarachnoid space at the first attempt in the elderly patients with difficult anatomy. Preprocedural USG reduces the number of needle redirections to achieve successful spinal anesthesia in elderly patients with difficult anatomy. The preprocedural usg did not prolong the spinal anesthesia procedure time in the elderly patients with difficult anatomy.
