ULTRASONIC POSITIONING DEVICE FOR EPIDURAL SPACE AND METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

An ultrasonic positioning device for real time measuring the distance between the epidural needle and the epidural space is provided. The ultrasonic positioning device at least includes an epidural needle having a hollow interior; an ultrasound needle transducer disposed in the hollow interior of the epidural needle and connected to an ultrasonic driving device; and a loss-of-resistance checking syringe connected to the epidural needle so as to confirm whether the epidural needle is inserted into the epidural space.
