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 ...

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

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 ...

Ultrasonographic Measurement of Skin to Lumbar Epidural Space Depth in Pregnant Women Undergoing Elective Cesarean Section: An Observational Study [PDF]

Journal of Nepal Medical Association
Introduction: Neuraxial anesthesia is commonly used during cesarean delivery and is preferred for its effectiveness and minimal risks. Accurate identification of the depth of the lumbar epidural space is crucial to ensure successful block and minimize ...

Clinical Implications of Preoperative Thoracic Spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Percutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Procedures: A Large Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]

Pain Pract
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective method for pain relief in patients with Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome (PSPS) type II. International guidelines recommend preoperative imaging to assess spinal anatomy for placement of thoracic SCS leads. This study examines the clinical implications of routine preoperative imaging in

How to Avoid Misdiagnosing Primary Spinal Epidural Abscess as Spinal Epidural Hematoma: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is an easily misdiagnosed disease. We report a case of primary SEA (PSEA) that was misdiagnosed as spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) and analyze the reasons. The misdiagnosis was confirmed intraoperatively. Comprehensive analysis is crucial for the diagnosis of PSEA and its differential diagnosis from SEH.

Monitored epidural catheter placement–ultrasound-guided neurostimulation-aided thoracic catheter placement via caudal route for perioperative analgesia in neonatal thoracotomies: A technical feasibility study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2023
In this case series, we investigated the feasibility of combining ultrasound and neurostimulation for inserting a stimulating epidural catheter in the thoracic epidural space through the caudal route in neonates.

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 ...
