Correlation of preprocedural ultrasound estimated epidural depths in transverse median and posterior sagittal oblique view and body mass index with procedural epidural depths in patients scheduled for surgery under lumbar epidural anaesthesia

Correlation of preprocedural ultrasound estimated epidural depths in transverse median and posterior sagittal oblique view and body mass index with procedural epidural depths in patients scheduled for surgery under lumbar epidural anaesthesia

Background and Aims: Preprocedural lumbar ultrasound (US) is employed for the estimation of epidural depth (ED). This study observed the correlation of preprocedural ED in transverse median (TM), parasagittal oblique (PSO) view, and body mass index (BMI) with procedural ED. Methods: In a prospective...
