Combined Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation-Guided Thoracic Epidural Catheter Placement for Analgesia Following Anterior Spine Fusion in Scoliosis
Pain Practice, 05/07/09
Pandin P et al. - This case report describes a safe, effective technique for placing a thoracic EP catheter in a young patient undergoing anterior spine fusion surgery by thoracotomy. The procedure was guided by both ultrasound (US) and electrical stimulation of the Tuohy needle and catheter. The combination of US and nerve stimulation in this setting may be associated with easier, potentially safer, and more accurate insertion.
