Randomized Controlled Trial
[Usefulness of Epidrum for teaching identification of the epidural space].
Epidrum (ED) is a device to facilitate the epidural anesthesia procedure. Using ED, we can visually confirm the needle's penetration into the epidural space by collapse of the diaphragm. We investigated the usefulness of ED for teaching identification of the epidural space. ⋯ The results suggest that ED is a useful device for teaching identification of the epidural space.
