Journal ArticleDOI
Single-operator real-time ultrasound-guidance to aim and insert a lumbar epidural needle
Denis Tran,Allaudin A. Kamani,Elias Al-Attas,Victoria A. Lessoway,Simon Massey,Robert Rohling +5 more
TL;DR: This small study demonstrates the feasibility of the ultrasound-guidance technique for epidural needle insertion under real-time guidance and investigates the geometric limitations of using a fixed needle guide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preinsertion Paramedian Ultrasound Guidance for Epidural Anesthesia
Denis Tran,Allaudin A. Kamani,Victoria A. Lessoway,Carly Peterson,King Wei Hor,Robert Rohling +5 more
TL;DR: Paramedian ultrasound can be used to estimate the midline depth to the epidural space, but the surrogate measures are not sufficiently correlated with the Depth of the Epidural space to recommend them as a replacement for the actual depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of red blood cell transfusion in an obstetric setting
TL;DR: This study shows the value of audit and confirms that the type-and-screen procedure is an effective way of reducing the crossmatch/transfusion ratio without compromising patient care, even in high-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Instrumentation of the Loss-of-Resistance Technique for Epidural Needle Insertion
TL;DR: Quantitative results improve the understanding of small differences in feel that have been previously known qualitatively and may help in the development of simulators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of prepuncture ultrasound for localization of the thoracic epidural space
Abtin Rasoulian,Jens Lohser,Mohammad Najafi,Hedyeh Rafii-Tari,Denis Tran,Allaudin A. Kamani,Victoria A. Lessoway,Purang Abolmaesumi,Robert Rohling +8 more
TL;DR: Ultrasound-based measurements of skin-to-epidural depth show acceptable agreement with the actual depth observed during epidural catheterization; however, the limits of agreement are wide, which restricts the predictive value of ultrasound-based Measurements.
