“…This finding was similar to the results of Lennox et al 4 at 2.5 mL injected, we observed an S1 sensitivity of 53% compared to 55.6% after 3 mL injected in their study. The catheter size, 19G (S3) vs 20G (NS3) did not influence the EPWA sensitivity (P = 0.25).…”

“…One patient had a false positive EPWA, the first in over 311 prospectively evaluated subjects in two previous randomized controlled trials 3,4 and the results of the current investigation. As per study design, aspiration and test doses were not performed prior to data recording.…”

“…9,[12][13][14][15] However, due to false-positive waveforms, block failure remains a possibility despite EWA. 9 Furthermore, falsenegative waveforms may lead to unnecessary attempts and a higher rate of dural puncture or vascular breach.…”

“…However, when pressure was recorded through epidural catheters, the sensitivity fell to 55.6% to 88.9%. 55 Thus, the combined findings of de Médicis et al 30 and Lennox et al 55 suggest that EWA constitutes a valuable adjunct for LOR. Further trials are required to compare pressure transduction through epidural needles and catheters.…”
