Comparative Study Observational Study
Epidural electrical stimulation test versus local anesthetic test dose for thoracic epidural catheter placement: a prospective observational study.
This study examined the concordance between epidural electrical stimulation test (EEST) and local anesthetic (LA) test dose to indicate correct thoracic epidural catheter position. The relationship between the test results and epidural postoperative analgesia was also assessed. ⋯ Following thoracic epidural catheter insertion, the responses to the EEST and LA test dose showed "moderate" agreement. The EEST has a higher sensitivity than the LA test dose to predict adequate epidural analgesia following abdominal surgery, however, both tests have a comparable positive predictive value.
