Spinal Needle Orifice Direction on the Level of Sensory Blockade
This is an excerpt from the paper...
"Influence of a Whitacre Spinal Needle Orifice Direction on the Level of Sensory Blockade" by McShane, Burgus, Kapp, and Wieczorek (2000). The purpose of this study was to determine effects of the direction of the Whitacre spinal needle orifice with regard to level of sensory blockade and differences in time, during injection of anesthetic into the subarachnoid space. Subjects (n = 50) were a convenience sample of patients seeking elective surgery. The pinprick method was used to collect data, which was analyzed with descriptive, t-test, and chi-square statistics. Findings showed no significant differences for effects on level of sensory blockade or time periods. The purpose of this article was to determine whether the direction of the Whitacre spinal needle orifice affects the level of sensory blockade, during injection of anesthetic into the subarachnoid space, and if there is a difference in time from injection to surgical anesthesia due to the orifice direction. The subjects for the study included a convenience sample of 50
