简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the thoracic skin to epidural space depth in children and define the ratio between the straight and inclined thoracic skin to epidural depth.
详细描述
Thoracic epidural in children confers clinical benefits but are technically challenging. The prediction of thoracic skin epidural depth (SED) might increase the success rate and decrease complications. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most comprehensive imaging modality of the spine, and the measurements derived can be more accurate.
The present study is based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based measurements to evaluate the thoracic SED and define the ratio between the straight and inclined SED at the two thoracic levels (T6-7 and T9-10) in children.
