Prediction of the distance from skin to epidural space for low-thoracic epidural catheter insertion by computed tomography.
BACKGROUND It may be clinically useful to predict the depth of the epidural space. METHODS To investigate the accuracy of preoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) in prediction of the distance for low-thoracic epidural insertion, a single group observational study was conducted in 30 male patients undergoing elective major abdominal surgery requiring epidural analgesia for postoperativ...
متن کاملThe distance from skin to cervical and high thoracic epidural space on chinese adults as read from MRI.
BACKGROUND A few studies on the depth from the skin to the cervical epidural space (DSES) have been reported from the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. There are no published reports from mainland China. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to collect standard data on Chinese adults from mainland China in a large medical center with a wide geographical range of patients. STUDY...
متن کاملPredistention of the epidural space before catheter insertion reduces the incidence of intravascular epidural catheter insertion.
BACKGROUND Accidental cannulation of an epidural vein is a common complication associated with epidural anesthesia or analgesia. On the basis of a pilot study and previous reports, we tested the hypothesis that predistention of the epidural space with saline before epidural catheterization would ease catheter insertion and decrease the incidence of this complication. METHODS Two-hundred-three...
متن کاملEpidural abscess complicating insertion of epidural catheters.
We present three cases of epidural abscess, all in patients in whom an epidural catheter had been inserted for postoperative pain management. In all three cases the infecting organism was Staphylococcus aureus and two patients had diabetes. The diagnosis was made within 3 days of epidural catheter removal in two cases, but in one the abscess did not present until after the patient had been disc...
متن کاملThoracic epidural anesthesia and epidural hematoma.
This report involves a 74-year-old-male who developed a thoracic epidural hematoma with paraparesis on the second postoperative day in conjunction with thoracic epidural anesthesia established before surgery for acute abdominal aortic dissection. The finding indicates that laminectomy can be performed successfully as late as three days after diagnosis of the hematoma, with a complete restitutio...
