OBJECTIVE
To determine by ultrasound (US) the spinal canal depth (SCD) in neonates and subsequently establish a nomogram and simple formula for calculating this distance.
DESIGN
116 US measurements were performed by two investigators in 105 neonates at the L3/4 intervertebral space. Both anterior and posterior spinal canal depth were measured and mid-spinal canal depth (MSCD) calculated. Measurements of intra- and interobserver variability were also performed.
RESULTS
A clear relationship was found between body weight (W, kg) and all SCD measurements in neonates. In particular, MSCD = 2.2 W + 6.89 mm (R(2) correlation coefficient 0.76), approximated by 2 W + 7 mm.
CONCLUSION
SCD measurements are easily determined by US in neonates, with good correlation between weight and MSCD.
目的
通过超声（US）测定新生儿的椎管深度（SCD），并随后建立用于计算该距离的列线图和简单公式。
设计
两名研究人员对105例新生儿的L3/4椎间隙进行了116次超声测量。测量了椎管前后深度，并计算了椎管中部深度（MSCD）。还进行了观察者内和观察者间变异性的测量。
结果
发现新生儿体重（W，kg）与所有SCD测量值之间存在明显关系。特别是，MSCD = 2.2W + 6.89毫米（R²相关系数0.76），近似为2W + 7毫米。
结论
超声可轻松测定新生儿的SCD，体重与MSCD之间具有良好的相关性。
