Anesthesiologists commonly perform the loss of resistance technique in order to identify the epidural space during neuraxial procedures; however, this technique is subjective and lacks reliability in certain cases. The so-called CompuFlo® technology provides objective information about the position of the epidural needle by means of a pressure curve and acoustic signals. The technology was introduced several years ago and was evaluated in several trials, which showed promising results. ⋯ The epidural space was successfully identified in 23 cases. Conversion to the conventional loss of resistance technique was performed during the initial cases in a prolonged procedure. The CompuFlo® technique is considered to be a promising technology, which might help to reduce complications after epidural anesthesia, e.g. postdural puncture headache.
