简要总结

Cervical epidural steroid injections

  • The hanging drop (HD) technique is commonly used for identifying the cervical epidural space.
  • The hanging drop (HD) technique is using the negative pressure in the epidural space.
  • The subject of debate whether the epidural space exhibits negative pressure.
  • In a previous study, EP might be influenced by body position
  • No report or peer-reviewed literature to demonstrate the cervical epidural pressure (CEP) now.

The hypothesis of this study

  • There is a difference in the cervical epidural pressure between in the prone and sitting positions
  • To evaluate this hypothesis, CEPs in the prone and sitting groups were measured and compared in the two groups.
  • Using a closed pressure measurement system
  • Under fluoroscopic guidance.

详细描述

Cervical epidural steroid injections (CESIs)

  • For the conservative management of head, neck, and upper extremity pain
  • Important to identify the epidural space for minimizing the chance of a dural puncture injection
  • Dural puncture injection makes CESIs prone to rare but catastrophic complication like permanent spinal cord injury

In previous studies using a closed pressure measurement systems
