Incorrect Needle Position during Lumbar Epidural Steroid Administration: Inaccuracy of Loss of Air Pressure Resistance and Requirement of Fluoroscopy and Epidurography during Needle Insertion

Summary: Loss of air pressure resistance leads to a high rate (25.7%) of inaccurate needle-tip placement in the posterior soft tissues of the back during lumbar epidural steroid administration employing a 20-gauge Tuohy needle. Imaging and epidurogram are essential for confident identification of th...
