While ultrasound has long been recommended for epidural placement in obstetrics, its routine use for neuraxial blocks in the obstetric unit remains limited. Common barriers include the lack of a dedicated ultrasound machine, space constraints, cost, learning curves, and concerns about added procedure time; this is where Accuro can help—and we’re extending a 20% end-of-year savings opportunity for teams exploring a more streamlined approach.

A randomized trial in 80 obese parturients undergoing cesarean delivery illustrates the impact of imaging support. When clinicians used the AI-assisted Accuro system for combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, the results showed:

✅ ≈81% higher first-insertion success (72.5% vs 40.0%)
✅ ≈45% fewer needle redirections (40% vs 72.5%)
✅ ≈83% reduction in paresthesia (7.5% vs 45.0%)
✅ No meaningful difference in procedure duration or number of skin punctures

These findings highlight how technology can help support technically challenging neuraxial placements and provide a more predictable experience for clinicians and patients alike.

With more than three decades in obstetric anesthesia, Dr. Steven Garber has seen technology transform how clinicians deliver care. Yet few innovations have inspired him like RIVANNA’s Accuro 3S. After serving as an early adopter and clinical collaborator, Dr. Garber calls the system’s AI-enhanced, hands-free ultrasound and live needle tracking “a true game-changer” for challenging epidurals.

Accuro 3S is designed to help anesthesiologists identify anatomy, track the needle in real time, and approach each case with greater confidence, particularly in patients with high BMI or complex spines. For Dr. Garber, this evolution isn’t about replacing skill; it’s about augmenting it. “We’re going to be safer, more efficient, and more precise,” he says. “It’s an exciting time to be an obstetric anesthesiologist.”

Complications following neuraxial anesthesia are typically rare, but when they occur, they often carry significant clinical and reputational weight. Despite their significance, gaps in neuraxial complication reporting remain common, which can make it difficult for departments to monitor performance or identify opportunities for improvement. This data disparity may create blind spots for anesthesia professionals.

Accurate, timely data is critical for reducing anesthesia complication rates and ensuring patients receive the safest possible care. Yet in many facilities, underreporting may persist due to incomplete documentation, inconsistent processes, manual data entry challenges, and other barriers to data capture.

RIVANNA’s Accuro 3S may help close the gap by bringing visibility to neuraxial procedures. Its image-guided precision is engineered to support confident needle placement, helping to reduce the risk of post-dural puncture headaches (PDPHs). When Accuro 3S is paired with structured, electronic PDPH reporting solutions, clinicians can gain clearer insight into complications and outcomes, resulting in meaningful quality initiatives that strengthen patient safety.

For anesthesia teams and hospital systems alike, comprehensive reporting is often a direct reflection of care integrity. With the right tools and processes, visibility can lead to accountability, and accountability leads to improvement.
