Summary

Caudal epidural injection (CEI) is effective for spinal pain. However, intravascular injection may occur during CEI, which can lead to hematoma, neurologic deficit and local anesthetics systemic toxicity. Whitacre type needle has been reported to be effective for reducing intravascular injection during transforaminal epidural injection. In this study, we compared the Chiba needle and Whitacre needle on incidence of intravascular injection during CEI.
