Actual depth of subarachnoid space - A correlation between subarachnoid space depth estimated by stocker’s formula, craig’s formula and ultrasound guided spinal anaesthesia in the lumbar region
Abstract:In any patient, the skin to subarachnoid space depth varies significantly at completely different levels of the spinal cord and it additionally varies from patient to patient at the same vertebral level as per patient characteristics like age, sex and body mass index. An estimate of the skin to subarachnoid space depth has been shown to minimize the number of unsuccessful tries, consecutive attempts, traumatic or blood-filled lumbar punctures, typically acting as a depth guide for correct spinal needle placeme… Show more
