Contralateral Oblique View Is Superior to the Lateral View for Lumbar Epidural Access.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of the contralateral oblique (CLO) view and the lateral view for lumbar interlaminar epidural access. DESIGN After the epidural space was accessed, fluoroscopic images at eight different angles (antero-posterior view, multiple CLO, and lateral view) were prospectively obtained. Visualization and location of needle tip r...
متن کاملبررسی درد محل تزریق، کمردرد و رضایت بیماران از تکنیک اپیدورال در دو روش مدین و پارامدین
Background and purpose: Median epidural block is often done with some difficulty due to pain, ossification of interspinous ligament and improper positioning of patient. Ïn addition, back pain is common with median approach, that may be due to puncture of ligaments on the line of epidural needle passage. Ïn paramedian approach needle dose not pass through ligaments, so back pain can be theoret...
متن کاملContralateral oblique view is superior to lateral view for interlaminar cervical and cervicothoracic epidural access.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the reliability of the lateral fluoroscopic view and several contralateral oblique (CLO) views at different angles in visualizing and accurately predicting the position of the needle tip at the point of access in the posterior cervical and cervicothoracic epidural space. DESIGN After the epidural space was accessed but before confirmation wit...
متن کاملDesign and Development of an Epidural Needle Puncture and Retraction Device
Over 2 million epidural procedures are performed every year in the United States, but many result in complications caused by over puncture, where the needle punctures farther than the epidural space. A usable model of a previously developed flexure-based solution was made and utilized in designing a new epidural device which may reduce the risk of over-puncture. A clinical background of epidura...
متن کاملFluoroscopically Guided Extraforaminal Cervical Nerve Root Blocks: Analysis of Epidural Flow of the Injectate with Respect to Needle Tip Position
Study Design Retrospective evaluation of consecutively performed fluoroscopically guided cervical nerve root blocks. Objective To describe the incidence of injectate central epidural flow with respect to needle tip position during fluoroscopically guided extraforaminal cervical nerve root blocks (ECNRBs).
