The technique of epidural anaesthesia is described in the present paper. In addition, the relationship between external features and the dosage of the local anaesthetic was studied. In this study, epidurography was used to visualise the cranial extension of the anaesthetic solution in the vertebral canal. It is concluded that the most reliable parameter is the length of the spinal column. Cases in which the use of epidural anaesthesia is indicated, are stated.
