In the lateral decubitus position, an investigator evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using an anatomic landmark (Tuffier's line), and then evaluate the L4-5 interspinous level using another anatomic landmark (Tenth rib line). Another investigator evaluate the actual L4-5 interspinous level by noninvasive ultrasonography.
