Acoustic puncture assist device: A novel technique to identify the epidural space

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2016
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 ...

Supraneural transforaminal epidural injection in the treatment of radiculopathy in the lumbar spine – a brief descriptive overview and technique of manipulation

open access: yesВестник анестезиологии и реаниматологии, 2023
Fluoroscopy guided epidural injection is often used to treat radicular pain in the lumbar spine. Risk and effectiveness data vary depending on injection routes and underlying pathology.

Benefits of thoracic epidural analgesia in patients undergoing an open posterior component separation for abdominal herniorrhaphy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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 ...

Case Report: Pneumocephalus after labor epidural anesthesia [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/3va]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
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).

The Use of a Dehydrated Amnion/Chorion Membrane Allograft in Patients Who Subsequently Undergo Reexploration after Posterior Lumbar Instrumentation

open access: yesAdvances in Orthopedics, 2015
Background Context. Products that can reduce development of epidural fibrosis may reduce risk for ongoing pain associated with development of scar tissue and make subsequent epidural reexploration easier. Purpose.

Electrical safety in spinal cord stimulation: current density analysis by computer modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The possibility of tissue damage in spinal cord stimulation was investigated in a computer modeling study. A decrease of the electrode area in monopolar stimulation resulted in an increase of the current density at the electrode surface.

Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of thoracolumbar intervertenral disk extrusions and protrusions in large breed dogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It has recently been shown that the fat-derived hormone adiponectin has the ability to decrease hyperglycemia and to reverse insulin resistance. However, bacterially produced full-length adiponectin is functionally inactive. Here, we show that endogenous
