Fluoroscopic Guidance Increases the Incidence of Thoracic Epidural Catheter Placement Within the Epidural Space

Structured PICO

Does fluoroscopic guidance increase the incidence of thoracic epidural catheter placement within the epidural space?

Intervention

Fluoroscopic guidance for thoracic epidural catheter placement

Outcome

Incidence of epidural catheter positioning within the epidural space

Fluoroscopic guidance for thoracic epidural catheter placement improves accurate positioning and may reduce hospital length of stay.

Abstract

Fluoroscopic guidance increases the incidence of epidural catheter positioning within the epidural space and may reduce postanesthesia care unit and hospital lengths of stay. Future work should validate the effectiveness of this approach.This clinical trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02678039).
