What Is an Interlaminar Epidural Injection?
Introduction
Epidural injection
Right!
- Introduction
- A local anesthetic method commonly used for local anesthetics, suitable for abdominal and lower limb surgery. Because there is no damage to the dura mater, there is no headache after anesthesia due to cerebrospinal fluid leakage. In addition, the epidural space is not in communication with the brain, and the injection level can be as high as the cervical spine without paralyzing the respiratory center. If a dwell catheter is inserted, repeated shots can prolong the anesthesia time. Compared with the subarachnoid injection, the epidural injection has a slower effect. [1]
