Brief Title: Real-time Ultrasound Guidance for Thoracic Epidural Blocks
Official Title: Reliability of Real-time Ultrasound Guidance as an Adjunct to Loss of Resistance for Thoracic Epidural Blocks
Study ID: NCT05165498
Brief Summary: Various modalities have been proposed for real-time confirmation of loss of resistance (LOR) for thoracic epidural blocks. With real-time ultrasound (US) guidance, the anesthesiologist attempts to visualize the sonographic advancement of the epidural needle and penetration of the epidural space (as detected by LOR) This observational study is set out to confirm the reliability of real-time ultrasound guidance as an adjunct to LOR for thoracic epidural blocks.
