Epidural Space Identification: A Meta-Analysis of Complications After Air Versus Liquid as the Medium for Loss of Resistance
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 11/25/09
Schier R et al. – The overall risk differences for adverse outcome between the different mediums were not statistically different for the obstetric population. A small, but statistically significant, risk difference for postdural puncture headache was observed when fluid was used during epidural placement for chronic pain management. Larger studies that overcome limitations of heterogeneity across studies and a relatively infrequent occurrence of complications are required to determine the optimal medium for loss of resistance during epidural block.
