- Abstract
In conventional practice of epidural needle placement, determining the interspinous level and choosing the puncture site are based on palpation of anatomical landmarks, which can be difficult with some subjects. Thereafter, the correct passage of the needle towards the epidural space is a blind "feel as you go" method. An aim-and-insert single-operator ultrasound-guided epidural needle placement is described and demonstrated.
