Ultrasound Has Your Back - UHYB

Ultrasound Has Your Back - UHYB Learn to use ultrasound for spinals and lumbar epidurals - the best strategies to enhance speed of insertion, safety and reliability

Ultrasound will help you have know when you're having a false "loss-of-resistance", know where midline is no matter what, optimize your needle size and angle before its insertion, decrease the number of patchy epidurals, increase patient satisfaction, decrease the number of bloody taps, and much more. Colleagues that have learned the technique feel more confident, less stressed, and unwilling to go back to the blind technique.


“Ultrasound has your back” is about teaching anesthesia related professionals, who are not familiar with ultrasound imaging or who want to just improve at the technique, how to use the ultrasound to guide epidurals and spinals needle insertions. It’s written by Dr. Bruno C.R. Borges - an anesthesiologist from McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada. He is also the organizer and instructor of the Annual McMaster Pre-Puncture Ultrasound of The Lumbar Spine Workshop, taking place in the fall every year. http://twitter.com/drbrunoborges

As a paediatric and obstetrical anesthesiologist, these are the top 3 things I started doing that decreases my stress and increases my performance the most in my day-to-day anesthesia practice:

1-Videolarygoscope for 2 populations in particular: all neonates and every obstetrical patient in labour;

2-Actively asking for feedback to recovery nurses and other colleagues about my work and its results
Having this question in mind really helps: “what is it that I am doing or not doing that is getting on my way of improving”. Sometimes it hurts, but it’s worth it for many reasons we could discuss in another post. The question is from a great book: "Thanks for the Feedback"

3-Using ultrasound for every epidural.
What are your secret weapons in your daily practice?
