Imaging in spinal posterior epidural space lesions: A pictorial essay
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2016 Spinal epidural space is a real anatomic space located outside the dura mater and within the spinal canal extending from foramen magnum to sacrum. Important contents of this space are epidural fat, spinal nerves, epidural veins and arteries. Due to close

Distance from skin to epidural space: Correlation with body mass index (BMI)
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2011 Background: Epidural anaesthesia is being increasingly used to provide anaesthesia for surgery on the lower abdomen, perineum and lower extremities. However success of the epidural technique depends upon the correct identification of epidural space.

Adhesions in the epidural space caused by frequent epidural blocks [PDF]
JA Clinical Reports, 2017 We report a case of adhesions in the epidural space caused by more than 200 times epidural blocks that were observed with epiduroscopy. A 41-year-old man had repeatedly undergone lumbar epidural blocks to treat pain in his leg, resulting in decreased ...

Identification of cervical epidural space: A comparison study between contrast spread and loss of resistance techniques [PDF]
Frontiers in Pain Research, 2022 Background and objectivesEarly epidural space identification is critical to the efficacy and safety of cervical epidural steroid injections (CESI). Currently, the accepted method for epidural space recognition is the loss of resistance technique (LORT ...

Ultrasound: A novel alternative technique for cervical epidural space visualization—A pilot study [PDF]
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2023 Background: Neuraxial ultrasound (US), a newer modality, can be used for neuraxial imaging, helping in visualizing and aiding in epidural space catheterization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the US for cervical epidural access and

Localization of epidural space: A review of available technologies
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2017 Although epidural analgesia is widely used for pain relief, it is associated with a significant failure rate. Loss of resistance technique, tactile feedback from the needle, and surface landmarks are traditionally used to guide the epidural needle tip ...

Comparison of loss of resistance technique between Epidrum® and conventional method for identifying the epidural space [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012 BackgroundEpidrum® is a recently developed, air operated, loss of resistance (LOR) device for identifying the epidural space. We investigated the usefulness of Epidrum® by comparing it with the conventional LOR technique for identifying the epidural ...
