Epidural anesthesia is an effective option for pain relief during labour. However, accurately inserting the needle into the epidural space can be challenging, particularly for some mothers with scoliosis, previous spine surgeries or plus-sized.
Advances in ultrasound and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing how epidurals are administered, making this procedure safer and more effective.
Challenges of Traditional Epidural Placement
Epidural procedure requires precision, but anatomical factors like high BMI, spinal
conditions (e.g., sclerosis or prolapse), and even athletic musculature make needle placement difficult. Multiple puncture attempts and complications such as epidural headache or nerve irritation are potential risks.
The Role of Ultrasound (US) in Enhancing Precision
Ultrasound technology provides real-time images of the spine, helping clinicians
to visualize the exact epidural space for precise needle insertion, leading to faster and accurate pain relief.
How AI Enhances Epidural Success
AI takes ultrasound imaging further by analyzing and offering real-time feedback,
helping clinicians navigate the needle’s path to the ideal location. By enhancing
accuracy, first-time epidural needle insertion success reaches 92%, significantly
reducing patient anxiety. Furthermore, AI technology increases epidural success rate two-fold.
The Benefits of a Pre-Scan for mothers
For women concerned about family or personal spinal issues or high BMI, getting a pre-scan can offer peace of mind. A pre-scan allows the clinician to identify epidural space before labour. When the D-day comes, the epidural becomes less stressful, as the correct insertion point has been mapped, making the epidural experience more predictable and comfortable.
