Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The spread of local anesthetics is influenced by various factors including volume, location of needle insertion, speed of injection, patient position, age, weight and height. However, there are few studies about the effect of different patient position affeting the epidural pressure and the extent of spread of contrast medium during thoracic epidural catheterization.
Studies of lumbar epidural blockade have shown that lateral position can produce 0-3 segment more to the dependent position compared to the supine position. When the same amount of local anesthetic was injected in supine of sitting position, the most cephalad level of spread was indifferent. Recent studies showed that neck flexion demonstrated significant cephalad spread of contrast dye in high thoracic epidural blockade. The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the changes of epidural pressure with extent of spread of contrast medium between different posture
