Ultrasound-guided lumbosacral epidural

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to perform a lumbosacral epidural. It starts with the placement of the linear probe at the lumbosacral space and identifies the epidural space resembling ‘Batman’ as the probe is moved cranially. Different injection techniques using longitudinal or transverse views are discussed, with the advantages of using a longitudinal view explained. The positioning is confirmed by injecting saline solution before introducing the anaesthetic, and the distribution of anaesthetic in the epidural space is observed.
