This study compares two ways of placing a thoracic epidural (a thin tube that delivers pain medicine near your chest) during surgery: one uses a pressure wave in the needle, and the other uses live X-ray images. It will help see which method is more accurate and easier.
This trial tests whether the CompuFlo device can help doctors find the right spot in the thoracic (upper) epidural space. It may make epidural placement more accurate during certain planned abdominal surgeries in the belly/upper back area.
This study tests a new device (Accuro 3S) that helps doctors place spinal or epidural anesthesia more accurately. It is for adults having surgery or labor who need this type of anesthesia. If you qualify, you may help doctors see if the device works well and safely.
This study tests a device called CompuFlo CathCheck to see if it can accurately check whether an epidural catheter is working before a tubal ligation procedure. If you had a vaginal delivery and still have your epidural catheter in place, this device may help ensure your pain control is effective.
This trial studies an approach to placing an epidural (pain medicine placed near the spine) during early labor. It aims to improve how safely and accurately epidurals are positioned, which may help with comfort during childbirth.
This trial tests a new device called the EpiFaith syringe, used during epidural pain management procedures. It compares the new syringe to the standard one to see if it helps doctors find the right spot more easily.
