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 ...

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 ...
