A model of the extradural space and a reappraisal of the extradural space pressure.
نویسنده
چکیده
A model is described which was used to study the genesis of the pressure in the extradural space. It consists of a Perspex outer tube, with perforations covered with rubber septa to allow the insertion of needles, and Paul's tubing on the inside, representing the dura mater. The Paul's tubing is filled with water through a constant head of pressure apparatus. The response of the model to the insertion of an extradural needle and the reproduction of various clinical phenomena are described. The pressure in the extradural space is discussed in relation to the performance of the model.

متن کاملPositive lumbar extradural space pressure.
Specially selected soft Macintosh balloon indicators were attached to needles during five extradural and five spinal punctures. When the needle point entered the extradural space, the mean balloon pressure decreased suddenly from 24.9 (range 14-37) to 12.3 (10-16) mm Hg in the five extradural punctures and from 22.3 (17-28) to 13.7 (10-17) mm Hg in the five spinal punctures. In the five spinal ...
متن کاملResin injection studies of the lumbar extradural space.
Two resin injection studies of the lumbar extradural space were performed to elucidate its size and shape. To counteract the lack of cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the cadaver, the subarachnoid space was filled with water. In group 1, the extradural injection of resin caused an immediate increase in subarachnoid pressure. The casts produced varied in thickness, but were situated predominantly ...
متن کاملThe lumbar extradural structure changes with increasing age.
We have examined the extradural space using a flexible extraduroscope in 74 patients undergoing extradural anaesthesia at the L2-3 interspace. Extraduroscopy showed that the extradural space becomes widely patent and the fatty tissue in the extradural space diminishes with increasing age. We postulate that these age-related structural changes may affect the spread of local anaesthetic in the ex...
متن کاملA new interpretation of the origin of extradural space negative pressure.
The negative pressure in the extradural space is the result of the interaction of hydrostatic forces created between the vertebral canal (a stiff-walled cylinder) and the dura mater, with its content of cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF), which behaves as a cylinder that can collapse according to the position of the subject. In order to corroborate this hypothesis, we have designed a model formed by a ...
