Patient-Centered Care With Ultrasound-Guided Epidural Placement

Patient-Centered Care With Ultrasound-Guided Epidural Placement

A high-risk labor case with prior anesthesia-related traumatic stress, extreme BMI, and comorbidities demonstrated how Accuro Neuraxial Guidance enabled safe, single-attempt epidural placement by providing real-time midline and depth confirmation. The handheld ultrasound system not only reduced procedural uncertainty but addressed the previous traumatic experience, improved patient trust, and allowed the anesthesiologist to deliver precise, effective analgesia where traditional techniques would likely have failed.
