Published Online: Jul 24, 2015
Abstract
This study was performed to assess the factor affecting the distance from skinto epidural space.
The distance from the skin to epidural space(DSES) was measured in 105 patients who received lumbar epidural anesthesia. The relationship between patient factors [age, weight, height, body mass index(BMI : weight/height2), pregnancy] and technical factor(posture) versus DSES was investigated using multiple regression analysis.
