Summary

The aim of the present study is to access the success rate of ultrasound-guided thoracic epidural catheter insertion, using fluoroscopy.

Conditions

  • Abdominal Neoplasm
  • Thoracic Neoplasm

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided TECI

When performing an ultrasound-guided thoracic epidural catheter insertion (TECI), an 18-gauge Tuohy needle will be used for interlaminar epidural access. All procedures will be performed with a paramedian approach under ultrasound-guidance and using the loss of resistance technique with saline. If the needle is deemed to be in the epidural space when the loss of resistance occurred, fluoroscopic views will be obtained to confirm which the catheter tip is located in the epidural space or not.
