The release of the plunger resistance to indicate that needle has been inserted the correct distance, is pure genius!

[@TrialImageInc]

I agree Terry! It’s an amazingly simple, yet effective, way to determine the entry of the needle into the epidural space, and in spite of the availability of bedside imaging techniques like ultrasound to aid in needle insertion, it’s almost never used because the plunger resistance technique is so accurate...

[@terrytytula]

@@TrialImageInc Excellent!

[@joestevenson5568]

​@@TrialImageIncUltrasound isn't used because the acoustic window is very poor, and even if it wasn't it's not possibleto reliably see ligamentum flavum or the dura on B-mode. The reason ultrasound is not used is not because LOR technique is so good - it's because it doesn't work.

[@murmurmountainfoot]

Just did spinal anesthesia three weeks ago. Did not know the needle was so long. I felt more nervous watching this than during the surgery 😂

[@ahhwe-any7434]

I remember looking back on my first when I had my 2nd & imagined it to be so much longer in my apparent dramatic ness. But honestly, even realistically looking at it, it's still long. I remember when they came out w/ that tray of tools & I was like 😦 ure gonna stick that thing in me? Wever, I guess it can't be any worse than bringing in this baby. I had 2 c sections. My 2nd had my tubes tied right after. But I was like I do not even want to watch. Granted I wouldn't have had the greatest view anyways. But I still closed my eyes

Hi, i was given an epidural at my daughter's birth and right after a few hours when i was 10 centimeters open i got a terrible pain arround my shoulders my neck and my head.. it was so severe that i couldn't lift my head at all.. my lover body was totally numb that i couldn't even move my legs or be able to sit. I went through this terrible pain along with nausea for 10 days.. never going to forget that horrible experience !!

[@ziajan6037]

[@VoidHalo]

If the first catheter placement results in intrathecal placement determined by the patient's inability to move their legs after a test dose of lidocaine or other local anesthetic, how would correct placement of the catheter be determined on the second attempt if the patient is unable to move their legs?

[@TrialImageInc]

+Nothing\ test dose is small and short acting - patient must have complete return of leg movement prior to second attempt...

[@joestevenson5568]

​@@TrialImageIncspinal catheters themselves are useful tools. Would you remove the one you've just accidentally inserted? The AOA suggests leaving them in because of their utility and the reduction in PDPH compared to taking them straight out. You might be grateful for it if the patient later needs LSCS.

[@prachitasrivastava9119]

how do u control the upper level...so that the anaesthetic agent doesnt go beyond that level

[@TrialImageInc]

+Prachita Srivastava - the epidural space is filled with fatty tissue, and this fatty tissue resists the upward movement of the anesthetic agent. This resistance can be overcome by the dose and rate of medication infusion. Thus, a lower rate of infusion results in a lower level of medication movement in the epidural space, and a higher rate of infusion will result in the medication moving higher in the space. The level of the anesthetic can be determined by careful monitoring of limb sensation, and an anesthetic level that is too high may cause cardiovascular symptoms, nausea and agitation. I hope this helps... CalShipleyMD.com

Dr cal Shipley md.. how many times can a doctor stick you in( one) epidural procedure? Please and thank you

[@TrialImageInc]

Hi - there is no hard limit on how many needle insertions can be performed, but most authorities recommend no more than 2-4 per procedure. Once you have performed that many unsuccessful attempts, you really need to stop and re-evaluate the situation - is there an anatomical or physiological reason for the problem, or is the insertion technique of the operator at fault, and is there a less invasive method available for achieving anesthesia?

[@alayraisdeadinside731]

The reason for the epidural is to get rid of the pain. If the pain doesn't go away, they may have administered it wrong, or you may have an allergy to Lidocaine?

[@maritzamarie1156]

Super helpful !👍🏼 what if it it injected in the wrong place? Is it automatically death for the patient? Or can it be reversible without damage?

[@TrialImageInc]

Hi Marie - the consequences of an errant injection depend on specifically where and how much of the anesthetic is injected. Theoretically, a misplaced injection could cause serious problems, especially if the continuous drip affects the spinal cord in the area of the heart and lungs. Fortunately, incorrect placement of the anesthetic is rare owing to the test dose that is administered ( as seen in my animation)...trialimage.com

[@TrialImageInc]

Hi Maritza - a misplaced injection can cause serious side effects, including respiratory arrest. Fortunately, this is very rare provided the test dose is performed as noted in the video...You can access my entire medical video library at: trialimage.com

Can this technique be an alternative to the general anesthesia in a patient with myelomeningocele L3-L4 not tolerating general anaesthesia? Is it possible that that type of anesthesia does not take effect in that case, causing the patient to feel the painful stimulation completely?

[@joestevenson5568]

Meningoceles can certainly interfere with the spread of local. They are generally considered a contraindication to any neuraxial anaesthesia, not just epidural. Why would the patient not tolerate general anaesthesia?

There is no spinal cord below L2. They avoid dural puncture by the loss of resistance technique. This is all explained very clearly in the video. Rewatch it.
