DOI: 10.1007/s00101-019-00671-y
Abstract: Anesthesiologists commonly perform the loss of resistance technique in order to identify the epidural space during neuraxial procedures; however, this technique is subjective and lacks reliability in certain cases. The so-called CompuFlo® technology provides objective… read more here.

Conus medullaris trauma: is there a greater risk in parturients?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Romanian journal of anaesthesia and intensive care"
DOI: 10.21454/rjaic.7518.242.ver
Abstract: BACKGROUND There is some evidence that anaesthetists often perform neuraxial blocks at a higher lumbar interspace than intended. It may be questioned whether parturients are at greater risk for neurological damage when the dura is… read more here.
