Compuflo Instrument for Thoracic ES Identification

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Anesthesia, Thoracic

In brief

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether the Compuflo Epidural Instrument injection pump technology, which is FDA approved for lumbar epidural anesthesia, is also capable of identifying the thoracic epidural space through measurement of pressure levels. While this device is approved by the FDA for use in the procedure of the lumbar epidural, it is not used to perform the epidural procedure but rather to measure the epidural pressure. This study will likewise measure the epidural pressure.
