Management of a case of ankylosing spondylitis can be very challenging when the airway and the central neuraxial blockade, both are difficult. Ultrasound-assisted central neuraxial blockade may lead to predictable success in the field of regional anaesthesia. We present a young patient with severe ankylosing spondylitis where conventional techniques failed and ultrasound helped in successful combined spinal-epidural technique for total hip replacement surgery.
当气道和椎管内阻滞都很困难时,强直性脊柱炎病例的管理极具挑战性。超声辅助椎管内阻滞在区域麻醉领域可能会带来可预测的成功。我们报告了一名患有严重强直性脊柱炎的年轻患者,传统技术对此失败,而超声帮助成功实施了用于全髋关节置换手术的腰麻-硬膜外联合技术。
