Le positionnement d’un cathéter péridural thoracique stimulant par voie lombaire provoque des lésions importantes à la moelle épinière sur un modèle porcin

Abstract: Accurate access to the thoracic epidural space is possible via a lumbar approach using a stimulating epidural catheter. Based on gross and histopathological examination, this technique resulted in frequent complications, including subdural hemorrhage, deep spinal cord damage, and subarachnoid catheter placement.

“…71 Moreover, electric stimulation catheters used in a porcine model led to severe complications such as spinal-cord injury or subdural bleeding. 75 Ultrasound guidance continues to be debated as far as this specific scenario (i.e. caudal access for lumbar or thoracic anaesthesia) is concerned.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Consequently, some clinicians prefer to use a lumbar approach (caudal approach in pediatric cases), or if unsuccessful at a thoracic level, they may thread the epidural catheter cephalad from that point. This issue of the Journal features an interesting study by Gamble et al 5 in which the authors used a porcine model to address the safety of threading an epidural catheter via a lumbar approach. In their study, the authors show that styletted stimulating thoracic epidural catheters can be advanced in a predictable manner to target thoracic myotomes using a lumbar approach.…”

“…This is shown in Gamble et al's experiment where, in most animals, difficulty was experienced in advancing the catheter beyond the needle tip. 5 The perpendicular angle of insertion used by the authors suggests the need for considerable bending force to advance the catheter out of the needle. Furthermore, the authors speculate that catheter stiffness and the presence of the stylet added to the difficulties in initial catheter advancement.…”
