Ultrasound guided spinal anesthesia.
To the Editor: We write to share our recent experience with ultrasound (US) guided spinal anesthesia (SA) in a patient with scoliosis and lumbar spinal instrumentation. A 56-yr-old female patient was admitted for a total knee arthroplasty under SA. Her medical history included hypothyroidism, obesity (with a body mass index of 32 kg·m–2), and chronic low back pain. She had undergone multiple ba...
متن کاملUltrasonography of the adult thoracic and lumbar spine for central neuraxial blockade.
The role of ultrasound in central neuraxial blockade has been underappreciated, partly because of the relative efficacy of the landmark-guided technique and partly because of the perceived difficulty in imaging through the narrow acoustic windows produced by the bony framework of the spine. However, this also is the basis for the utility of ultrasound: an interlaminar window that permits passag...
متن کاملUltrasound Evaluation of Spinal Cord in Newborns with Sacral Pit
Background: Sacral pit is a shallow or deep dimple in the lower sacral region, with a reported prevalence of 3-5% among newborns. The aim of the present study was to investigate spinal cord abnormalities in newborns with sacral pit via ultrasound examinations. Methods: In this descriptive study, 3071 infants born at 34-42 weeks of gestation were studied in hospitals affiliated to Islamic Azad U...
متن کاملSpinal Anesthesia Facilitates the Early Recognition of TUR Syndrome.
OBJECTIVES To investigate what clinical features typically present in transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome and to see which classically present first. The purpose of the study was to establish whether or not a particular method of anesthesia is preferred in detecting this syndrome in its early stages. METHODS A total of 1,502 transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) over a 15 year per...
متن کاملAnatomic landmarks of the glossopharyngeal nerve: a microsurgical anatomic study.
OBJECTIVE Compared with other lower cranial nerves, the glossopharyngeal nerve (GPhN) is well hidden within the jugular foramen, at the infratemporal fossa, and in the deep layers of the neck. This study aims to disclose the course of the GPhN and point out landmarks to aid in its exposure. METHODS The GPhN was studied in 10 cadaveric heads (20 sides) injected with colored latex for microsurg...
