Summary
This study tested whether ultrasound can accurately locate epidural catheters in 66 adults undergoing open abdominal surgery, comparing it to the standard X-ray method (epidurography). Participants received an epidural for pain control, and both techniques were used to check catheter position. The goal was to see if ultrasound could serve as a reliable, less invasive alternative in routine surgical settings.
