The Influence of Ultrasound-Guided Technique Using a Catheter-Over-Needle on the Incidence of Accidental Intravascular Injection during Caudal Block-A Retrospective Case Series Study

Background and Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the influence of an ultrasound-guided technique using a catheter-over-needle when an intravascular injection occurs in patients undergoing a caudal block. Material and Methods: We retrospectively investigated 41 cases of an ultrasoun...

description Background and Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the influence of an ultrasound-guided technique using a catheter-over-needle when an intravascular injection occurs in patients undergoing a caudal block. Material and Methods: We retrospectively investigated 41 cases of an ultrasound-guided technique using an angiocatheter for caudal block. These had been performed between November 2019 through August 2020 to manage pain of lumbosacral origin. Under ultrasound guidance, after advancing the introducer needle through the sacrococcygeal ligament and then slowly withdrawing it, the outer catheter was continuously advanced into the sacral hiatus. We confirmed proper needle placement under fluoroscopic imaging, using 5 mL of contrast media. We assessed the contrast spread pattern with fluoroscopic imaging and checked it for the presence of intravascular injection. Results: In all recruited cases, the catheter-over-needle was guided successfully to the sacral hiatus and into the caudal epidural space. There was 100% accuracy under ultrasound guidance, without intravascular uptake, as confirmed by contrast media fluoroscopy. The incidence of ventral spread was 84.2% above the S1 with 5 mL of contrast. Conclusions: The technique of using a catheter-over-needle under ultrasound induced successful block without intravascular injection. Thus, this technique is a reliable option for conventional caudal block.
