Electrode geometry and preferential stimulation of spinal nerve fibers having different orientations: a modeling study [PDF]
In a computer modeling study of epidural spinal cord stimulation using a longitudinal array of electrode contacts, the effect of contact geometry and contact combination on the threshold voltages for stimulation of dorsal column (DC) fibers and dorsal ...

A pilot study to measure the insertion force of a Tuohy needle in a porcine spine. Abstract [PDF]
There is a complex interplay of forces during an in-vivo epidural needle insertion and without accurate measurement of these forces it is difficult to create realistic epidural simulators.

Acoustic puncture assist device: A novel technique to identify the epidural space
Background: Acoustic puncture assist device (APAD) is designed to detect aand signal the loss of resistance during the epidural procedure. We aimed to evaluate this device in terms of successful identification of the epidural space and the incidence of ...

Benefits of thoracic epidural analgesia in patients undergoing an open posterior component separation for abdominal herniorrhaphy [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The implementation of open posterior component separation (PCS) surgery has led to improved outcomes for complex hernias. While the PCS technique has been shown to decrease recurrence rates, and provide a feasible option to repair hernias ...

Lumbar epidural anesthesia is commonly used for labor analgesia. The 'loss-of- resistance' to air technique (LORA) is generally employed for recognition of the epidural space. One of the rare complications of this technique is pneumocephalus (PC).

Epidural space pressures during pregnancy [PDF]
Summary The epidural space pressure in the lumbar region was monitored and recorded in 21 full term pregnant patients, before and during labour and 6–12 hours postpartum, in different positions. The pre‐labour epidural pressure was found to be above atmospheric in all patients, being highest when supine, and lowest in the lateral ...

Anatomy of Soft Tissues of the Spinal Canal [PDF]
Background and Objectives. Important issues regarding the spread of solutions in the epidural space and the anatomy of the site of action of spinal and epidural injections are unresolved.
