Abstract
|
|
|
The depth from the skin to the thoracic epidural space was measured in 121 patients (41 male and 80 female patients) receiving epidural analgesia. The patient's age, sex, height, weight were obtained before measuring the distance. The needle
angle
to
the vertical axis to the skin was obtained during inserting Touhy needle.
The mean depth was 6.1 1.3 cm, which correlated with other anatomic measurements except height. The depth was correlated with the needle angle, The group with needle angle greater than 30º was greater in depth than the other groups. The mean
depth
was
6.0 1.4 cm in males and 6.0±1.3 cm in females and there was no difference in depth between male and female. The mean depth was 5.7±1.3 cm at the T5-6 interspace and 6.2±1.3 cm at the T6-7 interspace and there was no difference in depth between
the
two groups. (Korean J Anesthesiol 1995; 29: 244~248)
