Four-dimensional ultrasound guidance during epidural anaesthesia
BACKGROUND Four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound scanning (3D real-time mode) can improve the orientation of the anatomy of the area of interest and navigation by controlling the needle position. The objectives of this study were to identify the optimal technique for navigation and to assess clinically the efficacy of 4D ultrasound navigation for epidural anaesthesia at lower thoracic and lumbar lev...
متن کاملUltrasound Guidance for Epidural Anesthesia
We propose an augmented reality system to automatically identify lumbar vertebral levels and the lamina region in ultrasound-guided epidural anesthesia. Spinal needle insertion procedures require careful placement of a needle, both to ensure effective therapy delivery and to avoid damaging sensitive tissue such as the spinal cord. An important step in such procedures is the accurate identificat...
متن کاملUltrasound guidance for regional anaesthesia.
Editor—As a proponent of ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia, I enjoyed reading the excellent case series by Karmakar and colleagues. 1 However, I have reservations about a number of the conclusions drawn in the accompanying editorial by Hopkins. 2 I agree that the recent regional anaesthesia ultrasound literature has many studies that lack equipoise. However, this fact surely reinforces our...
متن کاملUltrasound guidance in regional anaesthesia.
The technology and clinical understanding of anatomical sonography has evolved greatly over the past decade. In the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna, ultrasonography has become a routine technique for regional anaesthetic nerve block. Recent studies have shown that direct visualization of the distribution of local anaesthetics with high-f...
متن کاملUltrasound guidance in caudal epidural needle placement.
BACKGROUND This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of using ultrasound as an image tool to locate the sacral hiatus accurately for caudal epidural injections. METHODS Between August 2002 and July 2003, 70 patients (39 male and 31 female patients) with low back pain and sciatica were studied. Soft tissue ultrasonography was performed to locate the sacral hiatus. A 21-gauge caud...
