An acoustic puncture assist device (APAD) is developed to detect and signal, by tone, the loss of resistance elicited during the epidural technique. It records the pressure changes during epidural puncture of the ligamentum flavum. APAD also allows the anesthetist to hold the epidural needle with both hands and to identify the epidural space guided by acoustic signals. The use of APAD also adds sound to the sense of touch during epidural analgesia technique. Besides, APAD also provides objective, visible pressure readings, which also help in identifying the epidural space. A syringe infusion pump generated the pressure needed to perform the epidural puncture. APAD transforms the generated pressure into corresponding acoustic and visible signals.
This technique is often used in medical procedures that require careful placement of a needle or catheter, such as during biopsies, injections, or drainage procedures. Ultrasound guidance provides real-time imaging of the internal structures, allowing healthcare experts to visualize the target area, surrounding tissues, and any obstacles. This enhances accuracy and minimizes the risk of complications or accidental damage to nearby structures. For example, in a biopsy, an acoustic puncture procedure would involve using ultrasound to locate and visualize the target tissue. The healthcare professional can then guide the needle or catheter to the exact place for the biopsy.
