Summary

Epidural analgesia for abdominal surgeries provides numerous advantages for both neonates and children. The anatomical identification of the intervertebral space to access the epidural space is not constantly easy this is due uncertainty of the direction of the needle angle and the difficulty to estimate the epidural depth in spite of the skill of the operator. This can lead to more puncture attempts, inducing more pain or discomfort and even failure of epidural access.

Pre-procedure neuraxial ultrasound (US) imaging facilities the identification of the chosen intervertebral space, the depth of the epidural space and so the selection of best point and angle for the needle insertion
