Non Invasive Monitoring of Loss of Resistance During Epidural Injection
Conditions
Keywords
Epidural injection, loss of resistance detection, mechatronic device
Brief summary
This study sought to perform the feasibility assessment of a new, non-invasive device for Loss of Resistance (LOR) detection in clinical settings. The device in charge is a mechatronic device optimized in its configurations in order to detect Loss of Resistance while performing epidural injections.
Interventions
DEVICELOR measurement via device
The epidural technique is totally performed in a sterile field without any harm to the patient. The LOR measurement is monitored via the bespoke device used during the epidural procedure.
