A&P Homework Question

[DA314]

I already turned in the assignment, so I'm not cheating. Here is the question:

"What is the hip landmark for giving anesthesia injections during childbirth?"

I could not find the answer to that question anywhere, and it is bugging me!

Thanks in advance for you input!

maybe this is what you are looking for:

tuffier's line is the line between the posterior superior iliac crests and corresponds to the interspace between l3 and l4. this is used as the landmark for epidural insertion for labour analgesia (but using this landmark identifies the incorrect space 25% of the time).

Thank you so much!
