Fluoroscopy-assisted epidural catheter placement: an exploratory analysis of 303 pre-operative epidurograms.
Epidural catheters that are placed for post-operative analgesia have a significant failure rate in the first 24 hours. Beginning in 2011, we have used fluoroscopic guidance to place all non-obstetrical epidural catheters. In this retrospective analysis, we hypothesized that the characteristics of dye distribution on an epidurogram obtained immediately after catheter placement would predict clinical catheter function after surgery. ⋯ An epidurogram obtained immediately after epidural catheter placement may have clinical utility for predicting clinical function of the catheter after surgery.
