An analysis of the radiological visualization of the catheters placed in the epidural space.

چکیده
Radiographs of the position of the epidural catheter were taken in each of 90 patients in whom this form of analgesia was employed for surgery. Radiopaque dye was injected through the catheter. In 33 patients the average length of catheter threaded into the epidural space was 20 cm; the desired cephalad direction was followed in 16. When the average length of catheter inserted was 12.5 cm the tip followed the cephalad direction in 27 of 57 patients. Straight, curled up, and winding patterns were observed, and in 6 of 90 patients the catheter passed out of the epidural space.

Epidural space is a favorite anatomic target for several pain and anesthesia interventions. There are several practical techniques to access and localize the epidural space in routine pain or anesthesia practice. However, high prevalence of false positive results in routine anesthesia techniques, and probability of catastrophic events, in the case of performing pain procedures in false anatomi...
متن کاملTimely Detection of Epidural Catheter Migration: Diagnosis and Management: A Case Report
Epidural catheters that are commonly placed for anaesthesia or analgesia have a serious complication of migration. Besides intravascular local anaesthetic infusion which could lead to systemic toxicity, a subdural migration is often diagnosed late and presents with life-threatening outcomes noted either at post-mortem or requiring intensive care management. Albeit training and protocols for ins...
متن کاملInflammatory Pseudotumor in the Epidural Space of the Lumbosacral Spine on F-18 FDG PET/CT
An inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare benign lesion, characterized by nonneoplastic proliferation of inflammatory cells and presence of intermingling collagen fibers. IPT commonly occurs in the lungs and orbita, while an intraspinal IPT is extremely rare. IPT can mimic both clinically and radiologically malignant processes, and making a definitive preoperative diagnosis is often difficult...

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...
