Lumbar epidural space was narrower in parturients than that in nonpregnant women by ultrasound assessment

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2011
Labor epidural is commonly used to provide both regional anesthesia and postoperative pain relief. Epidural space is supposed to be narrower and deeper in a parturient than that in a nonpregnant woman.

Interventional multispectral photoacoustic imaging of the epidural space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Injections of anaesthetics into the epidural space are widely performed to relieve pain. Here, for the first time, we investigated the use of photoacoustic imaging to identify the epidural space using an interventional multispectral photoacoustic (IMPA ...

A pilot study to measure the insertion force of a Tuohy needle in a porcine spine. Abstract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Robotic Interventional Needle Insertion Assisted by a Cable‐Driven Parallel Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a body‐mounted cable‐driven parallel robot assisting the needle insertion procedure designated for automated interventional pain therapy. The 3D‐printed robot body and multiple thin cables can achieve high X‐ray compatibility for intervention. The robot performs full 6‐degree of freedom needle insertion and remote center of motion

Differentiating False Loss of Resistance from True Loss of Resistance While Performing the Epidural Block with the CompuFlo® Epidural Instrument

open access: yesAnesthesiology Research and Practice, 2019
Background. The occurrence of false losses of resistance may be one of the reasons for inadequate or failed epidural block. A CompuFlo® epidural instrument has been introduced to measure the pressure of human tissues in real time at the orifice of a ...

Analysis of current density and related parameters in spinal cord stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A volume conductor model of the spinal cord and surrounding anatomical structures is used to calculate current (and current density) charge per pulse, and maximum charge density per pulse at the contact surface of the electrode in the dorsal epidural ...

Microendovascular Neural Recording from Cortical and Deep Vessels with High Precision and Minimal Invasiveness

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Intravascular electroencephalography (ivEEG) using micro‐intravascular electrodes was developed. Cortical‐vein ivEEG showed a higher signal‐to‐noise ratio and finer spatial resolution of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) than superior sagittal sinus ivEEG, and deep‐vein ivEEG captured clear visual evoked potentials.

Comparison of ultrasound imaging in transverse median and parasagittal oblique planes for thoracic epidurals: A pilot study

open access: yesIndian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2016
Background and Aims: The use of ultrasound (US) scanning to assess the depth of epidural space to prevent neurological complications is established in current practice. In this study, we hypothesised that pre-puncture US scanning for estimating the depth
